Sorry for the easy question but...

When I look at some AMD powered laptops, both have A10 processors with 8650G (except the other also has an HD8750M.

Literally, only $40 apart. When I look up the 8750M it's more powerful than the 8650G. Why does the 8750M laptop also have an 8650G? Is that just how the CPU is made in these laptops to also have this mini GPU built on?

Thanks for any help or clarity. It's a laptop to replace an old one with moderate gaming here an there.
 
Solution
Yes, that GPU is Integrated in the Processor. The HD8750M is a dedicated package and usually better as it has it own memory and doesn't share System ram. It is also a better GPU anyway.

Can a dedicated GPU and an Integrated GPU in the processor work together?
