What in the hell
Matching apus to graphics card makes no difference as far as I'm aware of, and there's no such capability in ivy bridge? Not only are the FX series processors not worse than A series, they're far superior in terms of computational architecture because none of the die space is filled by graphics processing. Personally I think buying a FX-63## clocked over 3.5 ghz is a waste because of price/performance ratios, but that helps to emphasize the fact that you can't make sweeping generalizations about processor brands/architectures. FX is a power computing solution, A series is an integrated solution for low-end budgets.
