AMD A10-8700P vs Intel i7-6700HQ

Which CPU is better at light gaming such as Minecraft? My brother needs a new laptop. This is integrated graphics mind you; no dedicated GPU.

As a complete system the apu is better. The i7 destroys the apu in terms of cpu power but lacks in gpu power.

Benchmarks actually show the hd 530 beating the r6 but they are so close it's pretty much the same level. So the i7 wins hands down.
