Theirs nothing wrong with getting an amd apu. It may not perform as well as an intel chip but it'll be really close so close it's negilble. Depending on the chip. Just go with whatevers in your budget that you can afford really.
I beg to differ. To say that a 4 year old chip from AMD can compete with a 5 month old chip from Intel is incredibly misleading.
Well considering i went from an i7 870 nehalem to an i7 6700k skylake, with little to no difference in fps. Other then stability, i beg to differ. Granted yes, in rendering/vm's their would be a difference in times, but for the most part, unless you're doing very specific tasks, in the world of gaming at least upgrading cpu's doesn't have as big an impact as you'd think. Another thing disregarding an entire line of products just because it starts with an I instead of an A is asinine.
Just because you hear a ton of people poop on a brand of products without any factual reasoning or just because you've never used a brand and therefore is inferior is ignorant reasoning. Each company is not without its respective faults.
And it's not just a comparison of 5 year old tech to 3 month old tech an older i7 would easily outperform a new 2 core. If you look at the data subjectively, the differences between a 5 year old cpu and brand new one aren't as big as you might think.
