Who has better integrated graphics on a budget, AMD or Intel?

AMD has significantly better APU's. They have somewhat decent Vega graphics on the Ryzen platform. Intel just doesn't have good integrated graphics.

The videocard in a 3200G or 3400G does better in gaming than an Intel i3 9100 or 9400.

 

But depending on the prices of the APU, it is sometimes possible to go with an older Ryzen chip and an RX 570/580.

AMD. But just because it's better, doesn't mean it's good. Go for a dGPU if at all possible

AMD always when it comes to APUs. the vega 8 beats any APU intel has put out.

And the reason for that is they build their own GPU cores. Intel didn't for the longest time and has given up a few times.

No integrated graphics solution has ever been "good" but when you compare something like an A8-APU to "Intel HD Graphics 4600" , the A8 laps the Intel part by like a factor of 4.

 

It's simply no contest. Intel's CURRENT iGPU's are not even equal to a 9 year old discrete AMD GPU. 

 

At best, Intel's GPU parts are intended to be just-capable enough for video decoding, and not much else. They're usually fine to use in office PC's that don't really take advantage of the kind of performance you'd want in a gaming PC, but they absolutely suck for even low-end gaming. Like the comparison the UHD Graphics 620 is made to the Radeon HD 6700 from 2011.

 

 

Even the Vega 6 is more powerful than the 620.

AMD for sure however i do agree with @Arika S if you can stretch a second hand dGPU or a rx570/580 as @minibois said it will do you a lot  better in most games however does depend on what you want to play though.
