AMD APU ... why not used?

[megacrypto]

why isn't there miners that make use of the APUs in the AMD processors?

Because they are too slow.

slower than cpu's? i have a machine with AMD PRO A8-8650B which has 10 compute cores (4CPU+6GPU)

i mean, for what it worth, it will still give some kick over the 4 cpu's?!

Probably better than the CPU, but still very slow and uses the system's RAM. you won't get very much horsepower out of an APU.

was just curious )

intel is always the best in cpu's just like amd in gpu's and you can debate over this all day long ...
