Reasons as to why I cannot recommend an AMD A-Series APU for gaming
2This video represents a word of warning to anyone considering the purchase of an AMD A-Series APU as a viable gaming solution (such as for building a budget gaming PC by trying to save money on the cost of the GPU (as the GPU and CPU are both integrated into the APU)). Specifications and benchmars found online of the AMD A-Series APUs would lead to believe that said components would perform very well in gaming applications, however when compared to an independent GPU and CPU combination (even at lower yet comparable specs), the machine with the independent GPU and CPU functions much better when playing video games than does the APU. Frankly, an AMD FX series combined with a suitable add-on video graphic card (even a low-end or budget gaming video graphics adapter) is a better choice for gaming than is an AMD A-Series APU.
