This processor comes with onboard graphics, you don't need to buy a video card, and an iGPU reduces overall energy cost substantially. In CPU performance it slots [cpubenchmark.net] in between the legendary $85 Ryzen 5 1600AF and the more modern Ryzen 5 5600G, except unlike the 1600AF it doesn't require a video card. The all-time low for the 5600G was $110 in December (for maybe a day) and is currently about $122.
For me needing a video card is a major PITA. Since I'm not a gamer I don't have a drawer full of old ones lying around. And I use Linux, really, I want to shun ANY Nvidia card because they refuse to support the open source community and the proprietary drivers in Linux are only supported for MAYBE 8-10 years, after which the card becomes a paper weight or I have to use the buggy open source nouveau driver..
If you need a modestly priced office computer this would fit the bill nicely, though AM4 motherboards have been cheaper in the past. This would about double CPU performance if you are upgrading from a first generation Ryzen 2200G or 2400G.
