![]() ![]() ![]() I am afraid I can't give a desirable answer to your question. Now, I built that fella' a desktop configuration so I can't really speak for a notebook 'cause I don't have the necessary experience.īut if I am to guess based on things I've read and heard, I'd say yours might also be affected by thermal throttling considering the system is a lot more compact (think packed hardware, smaller fans and exhausts etc.) and those APUs tend to get VERY hot. Well that does not seem to be true in practice because my friend recently told me that he feels a substantial drop in productivity from the APU not more than three years down the road.Īpparently, sometimes even basic office applications start to stutter when he's been working for a couple of hours and opened a lot of windows. ![]() On the APU, both CPU and GPU are sharing communication bandwidth with the RAM and that causes a lot of problems when playing games.īack in the day, AMD engineers claimed they had taken that potential issue into account and added special instructions to counteract it. Gaming was not on my mind as I was building a supposedly performance-oriented workstation for a friend of mine, but still, I learned a lesson:ĪMD APU integrated graphics chips are not equal counterparts to discrete Radeon GPUs despite the similarity in names!Įven today, looking at specification sheets on the official AMD site, one would say that the integrated R5 chip must be better than the discrete one (847MHz and DX12 support vs 625MHz and DX11 support respectively). Hello, think marketing glamour might have tricked you in the same way it did me back when I procured one of the A6 APUs a couple of years ago. ![]()
