Using a Kaveri APU to boost mining performance?

[MalcolmSex]

I'm about to build a budget mining rig and I was wondering if there could be any performance benefit to using a Kaveri APU over a i5 4670k. My thoughts being that if it was possible, maybe I could leverage Kaveri's onboard graphics to get those extra few kilohashes. 

 

I don't know if this is possible, but I'd like to here your thoughts.

Also it's worth noting that I don't care about power consumption as my utilities are a flat rate included in my rent.

Probably won't do much.

Use a 35 watt 1150 pentium dude.

Yeah, budget mining right and i5 don't go together. Grab a celeron or sempron dude

While not hashes Anandtech recently did an article comparing the floating point performance between Kaveri and various other chips. It could give some perspective at least.

man don`t get i5`s and apus, get the least expensive dual core that its also very power eficient(haswell pentium/celeron) ,and the money you save from that put them towards better/more GPU/s

By budget, I meant that I'm not going to be throwing in 5 290s. I'm going to be building a gaming and photo/video editing rig which I also want to be a good as possible at mining. In other words, I still want a processor with a decent amount of processing power

@MalcolmSex

That flat rate for utilities may be re-examined after you get up and running. Can you imagine the look on the landlord's face getting that first bill? I expect a change in the lease when it's matured. They're gonna think you're running a grow house.

Go for an I5 then, maybe even an I7 If you go for an older chipset. You can get a 3770 non-k for $230-250.

yep i5/i7 then, apus are weak in cpu power
