APUs are for "low power, low end, low cost" just to get Grandma to facebook and play Bubble POP systems NOT MADE FOR GAMING.

Even if you added a GPU to a APU to try making up for it, the APU simply CHOKES the data that the GPU sits twiddling thumbs waiting for something to do.
Simply put APU is a nice tablet answer (the target market for the combination CPU+GPU processor) for low end, low cost, low power uses, but it won't be more then that marketspace.
Stick with the i5 Haswell, awesome and better performance.
