It would be totally fine for some types of games, but I wasn't satisfied with either streaming service I tried with fast first person shooters. Better than nothing, but not as good as a cheap video card running the game locally like a 6600xt.

I've never bothered to try it because they don't have the only game I still play any more, and I don't even play that one much.
https://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Com...vsm1553183 [userbenchmark.com]
That site gives the 5600g +3% effective speed over this 7940hs.
That's not to say the 5600g is faster in all respects, it's obviously not, but the gpu in this will seriously limit what it's capable of.
When looking it up I also sought to compare the GPU effective speed and found this:
"AMD's Radeon 780M integrated graphics get close to GTX 1650"
So basically not that much above the integrated graphics in the 5600g, but with a 5600g desktop you're not limited to the built in GPU.
I have two hp desktops with 5600g and 5700g, and rx5500 and 6600xt video, both are better gaming systems and the cheaper one was only $200 as a refurb and it came with ram and ssd and windows license, that's not a barebones price. Even the cheap one came with a 400w power supply, so it's not limited to the slow video card it came with either.
I'm sure some people will have special use cases where video speed plays no role, but that's probably not most people.

Please don't use that garbage site.
A chip like this with integrated GPU will appear crippled in that regard even compared to really cheap and older discrete graphics cards and older processors.
This processor absolutely leads a 5600g desktop in raw processing power, but that alone doesn't mean anything in gaming.
Benchmarks don't make your system feel fast to the average user.
Also, most games are still only optimized for 4-6 cpu cores and they're highly GPU dependent so all that speed shown in benchmarks isn't being achieved.
It would be like having a 700hp engine in your car mated to a transmission that is geared way too low and a clutch that's slipping, on a car that is a sealed unit to where you can't fix the clutch or the transmission. Even if the HP rating is 100% accurate the car can be routinely outrun by a 10 year old prius.

You have already shifted your argument of 5600G being as powerful as this one and now trying hard to change the narrative by saying that normal people won't need it. People who need it will understand and get this over your 5600G and absolutely understand the advantages.

Most people do not need a system in this price range AT ALL.
If they do, it's usually because they want gaming performance, and if they do want gaming performance then they'd be better served with anything like a 5600g or better desktop that can take a real video card.
A 5600g desktop with a 6600xt video card is nothing special, it doesn't have more CPU power, but it will walk all over this in gaming performance.
Most people would have no use for a CPU this powerful with a GPU this weak.
This is a niche product with a big bottleneck that really only makes sense for specific uses that are not typical.

Even in this thread, plenty of people mentioned different usecases and the thing is gaming is never the main usecase for these kind of PCs. Look for some other threads for similar mini PC deals and you'll see that people have been discussing tons of different usecases for these Mini PCs.

The current apu (which I have) is just too slow to run most game at 1080 high at stable 60 fps
