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.

    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.
