Yeah, it's kind of frustrating, that... AMD processors are cheap, but they're a long way behind Intel in pretty much every respect except graphics (Intel do have their more competitive Iris graphics chips, but they're expensive and hard to find). That's pretty much the only reason my current desktop runs an AMD A10... I wanted a decent GPU without a dedicated card, and figured the machine didn't really need a top-notch CPU...
