Hi, i'm in need of some help regarding the GPUs in these laptops:

ASUS X555LJ-R392W1B
Intel Core i3-5005U 2.0 GHz
4 GB RAM
1 TB HDD
NVIDIA GeForce 920M 2GB (Dedicated)

HP Pavilion 15-AB051NP
AMD Quad-Core A10-8700P APU 1.8 GHz
4 GB RAM
500 GB HDD
AMD Radeon R6 8700P (Integrated)


My question is about the integrated GPU, because as i was looking at some sites i understood it seems the R6-8700P is slightly superior, but beeing this an integrated GPU (therefore sharing the CPUs RAM) won't it have a worse performance when running games? Besides that, the Asus processor is also better than the HP one, so i was wondering which one i should choose. I know none of them is a gaming laptop but from what i've seen they can probably run games released until 2013 or so (or most of them at least). One last thing is that the Asus is priced at 549€ and the HP 599€, so is it worth the diference or beeing and integrated GPU makes it a poor choice for gaming? Thanks in advance for you help and input
 
Solution
The asus should have the advantage as the igpu are generally slower than the dgpu's as they have to use the system ram rather than the dedicated ram. Also asus generally have better cooling than hp.

Thanks for your reply, but does that mean a gpu with dedicated memory is always better than an integrated one? even if the integrated has better memory speed, l2 cache, pixel rate, etc? because from what i see the r6-8700p beats the 920m in all those.
