Which micro computer (R-pi, intel-edison, etc.) has the best graphics processor?

Which micro computer like the raspberry pi, intel edison, orange pi, etc. has the best GPU? It's for a project I'm doing soon and graphcis is pretty important.

You need to specify more detail on project and what choices you have budget etc.

intel edison        No GPU for graphics
raspberry pi       Videocore     My pick
orange pi           Mali 400
Etc...

If no budget(sky's the limit) I would pick a Tegra K1 Jetson from Nvidia.

Have you looked at the new ST Micro Controllers, there are many at a good price featuring full colour graphics engines

The simple answer to your question is that the RPi has the best graphics processor but as Peter suggests you might need to look around more widely - depending on the application. If you need low power (mW level operation) the ST parts can do way better then an RPI - if you need Linux then they are no help.
If you want graphics with a simple OS and tight hardware control you need a microcontroller like an ARM Cortex M, If you need a big OS and don't need tight hardware control then a lttlei board running Linux may be the answer - if you need tight hardware control AND a big OS you'll need multiple processors or a processor + FPGA (possible on one chip).
It goes on forever - so tell us a bit more about what you want to do.

Another option (with no budget) would be the UDOO X86 Ultra. It runs Intel HD 405 Graphics. Its supposed to be able to run 3 4K screens at once, and claims to be 10x faster than the RPi3. It's a really neat board.

Wait that is 209$ vs 192$ for Nvidia Tegra. Although nice also, I would stay with my choice. See UDOO X86 is 10x more powerful than Raspberry Pi 3, and can run Windows, Android, and Linux.

The Advanced is also a nice choice and $100 cheaper. I personally am sticking with the Raspberry Pi's as they are cheap, useful, and have a great community behind them whenever I need help. I just found the UDOO X86's to be interesting boards and worth a mention!

Broadcom has published the architecture for RasPi's VideoCore 4 GPU. I believe this is the only GPU that has public documentation. This gives you extra flexibility if you need it.
