the highest HD4000 is slower than the slowest AMD APU
I've been reading this forum from time to time to get my SVP configured properly and after reading this, I simply HAD to register.
The benchmarks you posted are for 3D rendered video games, which is not an accurate or honest way to compare AMD's APU's with Intel's HD 4000. Why? We're discussing an APU's ability to render/decode/transcode by using it's integrated GPU for the mathematical calculations, typically referred to as Quicksync or a form of iGPU acceleration.
If the video format is the supported H.264, MPEG2, or VC-1... a QuickSync enabled Intel processor will absolutely DESTROY even the fastest AMD graphics card or CPU while Decoding/Transcoding/Encoding. It even beats the heck out of my GTX680!!
And QuickSync hardware decoding is included in the latest FFdshow
