Best integrated video? Best overall CPU value?

[JJ Johnson]

I anticipate building six or more office systems this year for my company. I can't see any justification for using discreet video any longer for such computers. Most of our users have a single monitor, some have two. The OS will be Windows 7 Professional, and the applications are the typical Microsoft suite, plus browser based apps and web browsing.

Which CPU(s) available today offer the best integrated graphics? I imagine it's something from AMD.

Which CPU(s) for general office use do you feel offer the best overall value? Given that none of the systems will have discreet video, do you think the better AMD graphics make those processors a better value, or would an Intel i3's better processing power tip the scale in their favor?

Right now, the better processing power of the i3s tip the scale in their favor IMO.

As for best integrated graphics, That's pretty much the AMD A8-3850 or A8-3870.

As for best CPU for general office use, you should be fine with just the regular Sandy Bridge Pentiums. The Core i3s are just extra gravy.

I agree with Danny Bui, the SB Pentium is plenty for general office work.
