Or have APUs finally caught up in graphics power?
I recently consolidated some older computer parts and built a little media machine for music and streaming. It has a A8-7670k, 8GB of DDR3 1866 RAM, and a 1GB DDR5 Radeon HD 6670 in it. It serves my needs just fine, but I was curious if the integrated GPU on the A8 (R7 7670k) would outperform the 6670? I know it utilizes the system memory, but would the extra memory for the APU trump the faster memory in the GPU? Real world benchmarks for pretty much all of the APUs are difficult to find.
