I specifically mentioned office and internet use. Nowhere did I say Intel was better in GPU performance so your graphs are irrelevant to my claim.
Casual gamers are rare, much rarer than you think. And a lot of them nowadays use their tablet or smartphone for this. Besides that you pay a very small premium for say an Athlon + dGPU compared to an APU. The difference is less than 1 game. However you easily get double the FPS with this setup. So evebn for casual gaming APUs are fail.
Now they have their merit in laptops but again as already mentioned i5 + nv dGPU is better and doesn't cost much more.
You said because of the huge iGPU it consumes more power and it needs a bigger heatsink-fan. =
False
You also said that Core i3 is cheaper. =
False
Also, if Pentium CPU is adequate for internet and office so does the APUs. The CPU performance of the A8-7600 is more than enough for those jobs and you also get an added faster iGPU with it.
For example,
A8-7600 = $90
Intel Pentium G3420 (Dual Core) = $63
What dGPU will you get to have the same or higher performance than the A8-7600 at $90 ??? Ill save you from searching, NONE.
A 512 iGPU 30W TDP Carrizo will be faster than A8-7600 at 45W TDP both in CPU and iGPU performance. If i was a big OEM/ODM i would invest in that SoC for All in Ones and small thin SFF desktops. The consumer will benefit from PCs like that if they had the choice.
Imagine a FreeSync 21-24" All in One 30W TDP 512 iGPU Quad Core Carrizo that can play almost every game at 900p and have more than enough CPU performance for everything else, heaven
From an OEM/ODM point of view is also heaven,
1: Less complex board due to SoC (no more chipsets) = lower cost both from the board and the lack of chipset.
2: 30W TDP = small HeatSink-Fan = Smaller/Thiner design = cheaper and more elegant.
3: No dGPU = smaller Heatsink-fan + less complex board + cheaper = win win win.
4: FreeSync = added feature = higher margin = more profit = Win Win Win Win
That All in One would be the best All in One both for the OEM/ODM and the Consumer.
For the OEM/ODM cheaper to produce than Intel Broadwell, Added Features like FreeSync and higher iGPU perofrmance at lower/same price.
For the Consumer, added features and higher iGPU performance at lower/equal price than the Intel Broadwell.
Just give the customer the choice
