No, all of them have internal GPU.
DCA = Dollar Cost Averaging: I was reducing the grab-bag to the first
compulsory, GPU-endowed MPU, in the corresponding Trinity series, for
the least money.

The name of the GPU portion is 7480D.
Now, the information here leads me to suspect the 7480D
GPU doesn't have dedicated movie decoder. So in fact the "wiener"
as you put it, is the A6-5400K ($70). It's more likely to be
feature complete. My assumption is, when they name the GPU
section, the features remain intact from instance to instance.
This isn't evidence the A4-5300 works that way, but you should
do a bit more research before deciding the $55 one is the right one.
The movie decoder appears as part of DXVA and it helps reduce the
amount of CPU needed to play popular movie formats. Not all movie
formats are accelerated, but some are.
I did notice mention that at perfunctory video performance, that is
what seemed to me, it would be several processor nomenclature steps up
and above to reasonably expect serious contention for viable
application within video standards obsequiously, as always, catering
to a gaming platform.
192 over 128 streams offhand, I couldn't say would be any the more
relevant to acceleration and what core facets are applicable, if not
trade offs, in achieving further proficiency advantageously upon a
uniquely posed in-die GPU. At the abovementioned AMD boxed sales
description, the A6-5400K, however, gleans only a sixth, possibly a
tenth, less representatives, among reviews provided, overwhelming in
favor of the 128-stream Trinity variant. However odd, perhaps I
should have looked indirectly at those 192-streams for salience at a
$15 premium.

The cooler the 5300 comes with is "aluminum block" type. No heatpipes
or copper core. Some people are picky about these things. I would
not expect the 5400K to be any different, because both 5400K and
5300 are 65W class processors.
That I did look more closely for pertinence and AMD's 32nm/SOI
fabrication, along with FM2 benefits, (possibly a port over from
development initially on a laptop platform), aren't so demanding as to
provide satisfactory results with a little attention to an aftermarket
mating cream judiciously applied to stock HS provisions. I like a
good core cooler, but after stock provisions warrant the addition of
something I'm just as apt unable to resist for the flash-factor.
