While not particularly powerful, and at times unusually hot under standard load, this is a the first noteworthy amd apu since the fx 7500 (2014). As for igp based builds I would recommend them as a low end gamer option as it stands on par with the i5-8265 meaning it actually can game quite well if your willing to tone back settings abit in modern games. Having played Skyrim and fallout4 on both intels and amd's igps. The only thing left for amd to catch up on is tdp, while specc'd to be on par with intek... I still see roughly an hour difference in battery life under each general load type.

Very good CPU performance for low- to mid-segment laptops, but what really sets it apart from Intels offerings is the IGP which is certainly sufficient for most older or indie titles.

Integrated Vega 8 graphics are legit and many budget laptops manage to use the chip.

Again, don't understand the low rating here. You're looking at desktop level performance (about as good as the FX-8350) at low wattage AND integrated graphics.

AMD's Ryzen 5 2500U sports 4 cores and 8 threads with Radeon Vega 8 Integrated Graphics. The 4 cores and 8 threads is standard amongst new laptops with processors such as the i5-8250U from the blue team. What stands out is the powerful Vega 8 Graphics.It is about 50-100% better than the the i5-8250U's UHD 620 graphics, meaning it can be used for some light gaming on the go. However, despite the powerful specs on paper, adoption of AMD Ryzen mobile processors has been really slow, with very few models out there. Hopefully, AMD's 7nm mobile APU coming in 2019 will see more widespread adoption.
