So Im mostly looking at amd "A" series processors. They always seems to be associated with an integrated gpu.

So lets say I had a laptop and decided to replace an a8 with an a10 processor.

Would the gpu change aswell?


Thanks

Here is some more information from CPU World:

FS1 is a mobile socket for AMD Accelerated Processing Units (APUs) from Sabine platform. All processors for Sabine platform are built on 32nm "Llano" core, and incorporate 2 or 4 CPU cores, and a graphics processing unit. The socket, along with the first mobile "Llano" APUs, were launched in June 2011, and slightly faster version of "Llano" processors were introduced in December of the same year. In the middle of 2012 the FS1 was superceded by the second revision of the same socket, called FS1r2. Despite of similar name and the same pin layout, the original FS1 is not compatible with newer processors, designed for socket FS1r2.
