i7 7700k vs A10 7700k: IGP Gaming Performance Showdown
The video compares the:
$350 Intel i7 7700K 4core/8thread, 3100MHz DDR4 memory, etc. (using its Internal GPU).
to the OLD architecture (soon to be replace by Zen architecture)
$75 AMD A10 7700K, 2100MHz DDR3, etc. (only 386 shaders vs normal 512 in top AMD APUs).
Shockingly, the AMD A10 Wins for gaming. The FPS was close between both (sometimes AMD wins, sometimes Intel wins). But, the graphical quality was better for the AMD A10 -- according to the reviewer. I was honestly surprised that the overwhelming CPU superiority of Intel was not enough to beat a mid-level AMD APU.
My view is that in the long run, CPUs and GPUs will be replaced by APUs (both CPU and GPU on one chip) for nearly every application -- except for gaming fanatics. We'll see.
