APU or Intel Graphics

[Guest]

I have no idea if i should buy an APU (wait for next line if there is) or buy the intel counterpart(wait for haswell)

 

im thinking of making a mid rage computer but use on-board graphics for a year or two what do you suggest

 

*i didnt see anything like this on the forums tell me where it is if there is one

Even with Haswell, I think I saw somewhere the top AMD APUs outperform Haswell in terms of integrated graphics.

APU's still dominate the integrated graphics market.

You'd really have to wait for the new chips to be tested, but most likely things will be as usual - the APUs will kick Intel's butt, graphics-wise.

Even if haswell doesn't perform as well as the amd apus on the graphics front, you might still want to go with a haswell chip depending on how much actual cpu performance you want. It'd be a bit of a waste if you got an apu which ended up bottlenecking whichever gpu you got down the line.
