As far as apus go, this it blows intel out the water for multi threaded work loads, and able to have intergrated graphics to play gta 5 on medium 1080 at a steady 28-35 frames perfectly playable and with the ryzen overclocking tool Im sure you can squeeze more out of this apu.

it can handle programs really well, and so far, my usage of this processor is quite good. I can run android studio smoothly and can also play fps(shooting) games with it (no lag w/ right settings). Overall, it might not be the most powerful, but it can certainly handle tasks that require processing.

This processor has high consistency which can help you run games which can fit its requirements, but for higher performance, it is recommended to use the likes of Ryzen 5 3550H or Ryzen 7 3750H or even consider the 4th Generation Ryzen series. Other than that, one of the best budget processors from AMD. :)

A very good APU for budget laptops. The iGPU on this processor is decent and capable of running some games at 720p or even 1080p at very low settings. The processor is good for general use and can handle very light video editing. If you have the budget, I strongly recommend going with a Ryzen 4000 series chip, as they are based on the Zen 2 Architecture, which provides a lot better performance over the previous gen.
