Hi guys. What do you think about the graphics? Are they better than AMD's APUs? At a certain point this year I'll have to upgrade my father's PC, since he doesn't do any hard core gaming, he can pass with integrated graphics. They're still great CPU and he should benefit more in this way. What's the iGPU performance if I try playing something like Borderlands on fullhd.

Probably still worse than an APU for graphical performance.

Amd has better graphic performance on their apus, but intel is much more energy effiecient, mostly because of their cpu cores being better. That is actually why the vast majority of laptops come with intel igpus. Now, if you are planning to buy a desctop apu, definately go with amd, since they announced that they will take advantage of dx12, in order to have both the apu's igpu and the dgpu active at the same time. I would prefer to wait though for am3 to come since its going to be the platform amd will be using for all of their future apus AND cpus ( which means its going to have better support, and all future products will be released in that platform ). IMO, a a107870k ( or whichever the top apu at that time will be) and a 390x will be a killer combination.

Well, actually I already have a gaming PC, I'm just trying to find something that would work for my father for the next 5 years or so. I have doubts around AMD's CPU part and it's not that I'm seeking for top tear graphical performance, then I would get a proper GPU. I just like the fact that I could give him a nice CPU that will be future compatibile.

There's no reviews yet so we can't tell you:p
Just gotta wait for reviews- then again Skylake should be releasing towards end of the year and that should be a bigger performance leap than Haswell -> Broadwell
 
Some interesting initial benchmarks, would like to see multiple settings and resolution benchmarks first though as these dont really tell the full story.
