CPUs with integrated AMD Radeon 8570D?

I've always thought that integrated graphics weren't very powerful. But I'm looking into CPUs with integrated cards and I found one with AMD Radeon HD 8570D. Is that integrated card as powerful as a dedicated AMD Radeon HD 8570?

This CPU is only $110. Seems way to cheap to have an integrated card like that.

Also, what does it mean under the "onboard video" section on a MOBO when it says "Supported only by CPU with integrated graphic." Does that mean the MOBO is incompatible with dedicated video cards?

Thanks.

You can use any PCI-e video card with it. It just means that onboard video is only supported if you buy an APU (CPU with graphics processor integrated to the chip).
 
The performance of the iGPU in an a10 6800k is around hd6670 performance, you can couple the a10 with up to an hd7750 in hybrid crossfire to get better gaming performance. It's a good deal, you get quite a bit of power and you'll match a hd7870.

Uh... hybrid crossfire? a10? No idea what you're talking about. I'm a noob, so you'll have to dumb that down a few notches.
 
It means you can run the CPU onboard video and certain video card together in a somewhat Crossfire mode. Will give better performance then either by itself.
