In most games you will be gpu limited, so the igp vs the 7750 is the determining factor. Anand doesnt have a bench for the igp of the A10, but it is slightly slower than a GT 640.

Comparing the HD7750 to the GT 640, the 7750 is overall about 50% faster. So I would expect the i3 plus 7750 to also be about 50% faster in gaming than the A10.

What does 50% faster in gaming really mean? It means the difference between playing on medium vs low settings, or playing high vs medium. That's what it means. The A10 is a decent gaming chip and the CPU is as fast as an i3 in most benches.

The op just asked for "how much faster is the HD7750". I gave him my best estimate, and did not make a judgement other than that. Does that offend you somehow? I never said the i3 was faster or slower than the A10 in cpu performance. That is irrelevant to the question because with these low end graphics solutions you will always be gpu bound when gaming.

But since you brought it up, a 50% increase is a huge difference in performance, especially at the low end. Do you really want to not be able to play current demanding games at anything more than low settings at 720p, not to mention that even more demanding games will probably be coming out in the future, especially with the next generation of consoles on the horizon?

Take needless offence often? I was pointing out the difference in how the games would feel. It was not a slight against you.

Just the way you said your post seemed rather condescending and confrontational to me. If it was not intended that way, OK. No harm done.
