apu processor good?

[kfronda26]

are apu's good for normal usage?

 

[Bad_Kitty13]

they are good if you plan on using them for there graphics core. depends on what you want to use it for and what your budget is often times an i3 will beat out a quad core apu. and the more pricey apus you can afford an i5 locked processor that beats about anything in that price range. their not recommended that often. but in certain cases they do serve a purpose

For example, if you are low on budget and still want to play games on low settings, if you're interested in developing HSA with the Kaveri APU, if you want to explore the field of Dual Graphics.

Yes its for normal usage. I can even play far cry 3 using my a4 (low settings) and it is so playable. Budget wise, go for it.
