Personally, I'm disappointed that the first Intel chips with DDR5 support don't even have Xe graphics. The 5600G graphics are still much better than Intel's, even on something like DDR4 3600 CL18, which is really cheap RAM.
the $299 12600k is much faster than the 5600g, and even the 5700g

you're paying a 10% discount on the 5700g, but you're getting more than a 10% deficit in performance compared to the $299 12600k
just wait 2 months for more boards to come out.
The ryzen chips have outdated graphics, even if they have more horsepower than Intel graphics.
The ryzen chips are not future proof, lacking the AV1 hardware decoder support. Future video streaming will shift toward AV1 codec.
Currently AMD chips use lots of cpu power to play av1 videos.
Ahhh sh!t, you're right. Typical 65W, I was looking at "TDP Down" initially lol. Probably best not to push this little ThinkCentre

can't find any video cards under $99 anymore which are next gen.
About Intel - it's sucks now.
