I have a 4350GE in it right now (35W). And these two are 45W. All have built in graphics.
I guess the question would be BIOS support. Any thoughts would be much appreciated
That's about the only compatibility issue you need to confirm.
May as well get a 1050 vanilla to go with the your new Alderlake "gaming" or "content creation" ROG… SMH
If someone wanted to do this, how do you figure out compatibility? I know that this has the same AM4 slot as my Ryzen 5 Pro. Clearly in the bios has to recognize the chip but are there other things that need to be compatible generally?
i5-10400f no integrated video card, and cpu score only 14000 vs
Ryzen 5 5600G with onboard video and score 20000

On paper this is 5-15% slower in games due to the cut down L3 cache from 32MB to 16MB, lower turbo from 4.6 Ghz to 4.4 Ghz. This also doesn't support PCIE 4, which means the latest gen PCIE 4.0 NVME's will suffer a bottleneck.
However the biggest difference is the market position. Why did people buy 5600x? Before Alder Lake launch, 5600x was THE best chip on the market for gaming because it is just a cut down 5800x. These two chips were the IPC leaders. But now that Alder Lake CPUs have better IPC than 5600x/5800x, the unique market position of 5600x has deteriorated.
Now back to 5600g. If you buy today, I recommend saving even further by dropping to the i5-10400f. That chip will beat 5600g handily in games at lower cost. It loses on average 5% to 5600x.
If you can wait a month, wait for the i5-12400f. Benchmark shows that it outperforms 5600x easily.

1) It's hard to find 12th gen intel parts (cpu, new z690 motherboard, ddr5 memory) in stock
2) It's hard to find 12th gen intel parts (cpu, new z690 motherboard, ddr5 memory) at reasonable prices.
As with most launches, it sells out in a day, and many of the places still selling are selling at higher than expected prices, and you're now comparing inflated/short-stock Intel parts vs in-stock and on-sale Ryzen parts.
It's easy enough to find 32GB DDR4 deals for $100.
It's easy enough to find a decent B550 motherboard deal for $100.
It's easy enough to (here) find a decent 6-core/12-thread APU for $200.
Yes, Intel parts are performing very well this 12th generation release. So it's up to you if you want to wait or build now. I have friends that have been wanting to build for the past YEAR of gpu shortages, so they're upgrading now while Ryzen's on sale. They're not wanting to wait even longer just for Intel CPUs/mobos/DDR5 to ~maybe/hopefully~ normalize in prices/availability in weeks/months.

Yeah I picked up at 135W power supply for the ThinkCentre, so that shouldn't be an issue.
Ahhh sh!t, you're right. Typical 65W, I was looking at "TDP Down" initially lol. Probably best not to push this little ThinkCentre
