How does this laptop's iGPU compare to others?

[JSP123]

My old laptop broke a while ago, so I built a PC for gaming and working that is more than powerful enough. However, I will need a laptop again soon for uni and working/gaming on the go, something I'm really missing now. I can't afford anything expensive and I understand I won't be able to run most games on a laptop, just light things like Rocket League.
I just wanted to know how the graphics on this laptop (Radeon R5 graphics on an A8-7410) compare to other integrated graphics options, for example the Intel HD 4600 graphics on my PC's CPU that I've tested with some small games by disabling my 970.

Thanks a lot,

Jordan

The R5 GPUs are a tad more powerful than the HD graphics. Typically their equal to the HD 5000 graphics and 5100 Iris graphics (but the 5200 Iris Pro is faster).

Thanks for the quick reply.

So a laptop with an i3-5020U could be more powerful graphically as it has Intel HD 5500 graphics? For example, this laptop with a RAM upgrade:

Yes for sure. It sits between the R5 and R7 AMD IGPUs.
