APU versus CPU

[enigma1944]

I know very little about hardware so is there a big difference between a APU and a CPU.
Thanks

Take a look at What Is An APU? [Technology Explained]

 

[Erick Aguilar]

Not that much, it's like any CPU with integrated graphics, but they are enchanced, more powerful, and a lot more RAM dependant.

The new FM2 socket is incredible. Not only is the gpu powerful enough to have a good eyefinity setup, but the CPU is not that bad itself! Such a huge improvement over FM1

Thanks for your responses

I looked at this unit and I may buy it

Apu's are killers with laptops.
However, it will NOT be a gaming laptop, keep this in mind.

 

[enigma1944]

What do you mean " killers "

 

[oreo27]

What do you mean " killers "

I think it means it won't compete with laptops that have a discrete graphics card. Anything with a discrete graphics cards will tear through real life performance vs. APUs in general.

No, I meant that in terms of integrated graphics, a Laptop with an APU will beat any other laptop in a budget range that also has integrated graphics.
