I was thinking of getting a new laptop but i dont know which one to choose. One laptop has
CPU: FX-7500 APU
GPU: Radeon R7
The other one is
CPU: Intel Core i3-6100U
GPU: Intel HD 520
Which one would be better for playing games although the fx-7500 has a better core speed the graphics of HD 520 is apparently alot better than the Radeon R7
 
Solution
At the same TDP, the i3 has both a faster CPU and integrated GPU. AMD's CPUs are much less power efficient, so even though their graphics are faster in a desktop environment where there are no power limits, they're slower when they have to consume the same power as Intel's.

If the graphics on the HD 520 are better, get it then.
I have no way of finding benchmarks for APU's GPU's so i cant look at it for myself - wait a bit to see if someone else reply's here.
