The question is pretty simple : Which is the most power CPU with an integrated APU ???

(BWT I'm not interested on getting one, cause i know they are pretty old).

THANKS :)

Looks like the Intel Core i7-6970HQ, as it has the Iris Pro with 128MB eRam

https://www.notebookcheck.net/Intel-Core-i7-6970HQ-Notebook-Processor.164967.0.html
"The integrated GPU with the designation Iris Pro Graphics 580 (also known as "GT4e") represents the fastest version of the Skylake GPU (Intel Gen. 9). 72 Execution Units (EUs) run at 350 up to 1050 MHz and allow a performance comparable to a dedicated mainstream chip. The GPU might be able to compete with a GeForce 945M under perfect conditions and it is therefore the fastest iGPU on the market by a pretty big margin. Modern games from 2015/2016 can usually be played smoothly at medium settings. "

There's actually a 7th gen of AMD's APU that seems to have come out in October, though, admittedly, I've only come across info about it within the past few days.

Supposed to be a little faster than the previous ones, and the TDP is only 65W vs 95+ of the previous ones.

How well they perform, though, I don't know.

A12-9800
A10-9700
A8-9600
A6-9500

And 35W E versions of each (except not for the A8-9600)

Though, aside from that, I haven't seen an substantial performance analyses. It'd be interesting to see where they fall on Tom's CPU hierarchy. I'd assume at least equal to, maybe one tier better, than their previous generation brethren.
