AMD's page is rather limited on the integrated graphics for this quad core CPU.
So does this A8-9600 use GCN architecture graphics and if so, I guess there is one GCN core with this low cost unit, or is there 2 of them?
Not sure if you seen this website. But it is very good at giving good specs on all types of CPUs: http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/Bulldozer/AMD-A8-Series%20A8-9600.html
this site says it has 384 core which would be about 6 GCN cores which is a bit below 1/2 of my HD 7870 and probably slower too
Comparing integrated Graphics on a CPU with a Discrete GPU card is comparing Apple and Oranges. The Discrete GPU card will always be more powerful than an APU's integrated Graphics.
how are the integrated graphics on the R3 and R5 processors
they got L3 to perk up performance
