Potato question

[Billy_Mays]

I'm wondering if a AMD A8-7600 (Igpu) would be an upgrade an i3 5020u (Igpu) because I want to have a new build because my laptop's Igpu is a bottle neck so would I notice any improvements of performance?

After about 5 minutes of research I found this:
http://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-HD-5500-Mobile-095-GHz-vs-AMD-Radeon-R7-Graphics/m16570vsm8791

It's slightly better, I don't think they will be too noticeable.

Ok but the first upgrade I'm doing is the gpu because it makes sense to but thanks it's really appreciated

I don't think you can upgrade that though.

From an i3-5020u

Yeah, that's a mobile processor.

Laptops aren't upgradeable in the sense that the CPU and GPU are soldered onto the motherboard.  Also, the iGPU's on both are... well, integrated.  So it's a packaged deal.

 

As for a comparison between the two CPUs/GPUs, the i3 is a wee bit faster (almost the same GPU wise), but it's also in a much different class.  It consumes far less power making it something you typically see in ultrabooks and tablets.

I know but it's more of an upgradeable path

I know but my current system has it in it my question is it an upgrade?

If you mean an upgrade in performance, the CPU portion is by ~30%.  GPU is about the same.

 

I took another look, you actually won't see much of a benefit even in CPU.  Better single threaded but worse multithreaded.

Ok I maybe able o put my 770 in it depending on my dads bud that's if helping me

You can't put a new GPU on a laptop, unless you're looking at getting one of those docks.  Even then it's not really worth it, I would save for something better.

No in the build I'm planning
