An APU is a compromise, you sacrifice the vast majority of your performance for smaller form factor and cheaper components. While you can use an APU in a PC (most Intel CPUs are technically such sicne they include a weak GPU and AMD has their G marked APUs in their product lineup with Vega 8/11 iGPUs) but the most powerful of those barely trade blows with the 6 year old low end of discrete GPUs (the GTX1050 non-Ti).
