Plus your energy bill will go up and you'll need a room a/c to be able to survive while playing anything…

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The ryzen chips have outdated graphics, even if they have more horsepower than Intel graphics.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.
There's simply no way a 10nm Intel CPU with a 125w tdp is going to perform as efficiently as a 7nm AMD CPU with 65w tdp rating (tdp ratings in general are a bit of a joke but that's another discussion...).
Intel chips DO idle fairly decently but under any load they jump significantly. Under PL2 (turbo) mode can easily double or near triple their power consumption.

Not going back.
Dont care. Dont care about Windows 11. No shits to give about either one of them. Linux development is moving upstream of proprietary development. No one wants the bullshit anymore.

On the other hand, Intel's 128 execution unit Alchemist GPUs could revitalize the low end GPU market around the same time, and deliver more graphics performance than Rembrandt APUs can. A Core i5-12400F + Alchemist 128 combo should be enough to crush Rembrandt.
I couldnt get the founders edition but I got the MSI Gaming X and it was 679. I looked it up the MSRP should had been 479. So MSI guilty of scalping these cards too. With Chicago $80 tax, it was 760. This is way too much for something that had should been 399. Im still rocking with my GTX 1070 Ti so I wait I guess.

AV1? Do you think most people really care? How many people are streaming? What a joke.
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.

Funny these people can't imagine buying anything not made by Intel for themselves, yet they don't understand that many will never buy Intel.
