Is that a better deal?
Some of the reviews on Amazon have some condition issues. Probably better off with this eBay one.
13100 is older but performs identically. The I3 beats the 5600g in more games than it lose though the margin is close. It is faster in web browsing/office because that's not multithreaded. The 5600g pulls ahead in workstation tasks. Again this is the 5600G not the 5600 which is actually significantly faster.
I won't converse about upgrades because by time either of these really need an upgrade prices could look different and I don't have a magic orb and while I could be out of touch, I don't think someone is buying a pre-built to immediately drop in a cpu upgrade.
It is not exactly uncommon to buy a cheap AM4 X3D chip and drop it in. They are under $80 on eBay all day long. Big ol performance bump.
Even the review you linked is opposed to that i3 and in favor of AMD chips! I encourage you to read what you link, particularly the conclusion.

Did you read the conclusions of the article I linked? Because again it said the 5600 NOT THE 5600G IS BETTER. I keep telling you THEY'RE NOT THE SAME PERFORMANCE. It closer to the 5500 which THEY SAY IT BEATS. YOU CAN SEE THIS ON THE CHARTS. I have pointed this out 2 times now. The most generous conclusion you could make is that it is a draw. Don't tell someone to read before the article before understanding it yourself. Here is a gamer Nexus review so you can see all the other games the i3 is faster than the 5500 (the closer analog to 5600G) https://youtu.be/pSJwlVvh7m
If you where really that confident that you are right you'd have posted some benchmarks to back your case so until you do I'm done arguing over performance.
Maybe we're using different web browsers I apparently use the same one toms hardware because I've never seen a browser bump every core on any system ever. Maybe if you can specify the task and the browser I'd change my mind but for now I'm sticking with my experience and what the review said.
Since the Intel chips are so much more expensive second hand then someone should be able to sell the i3 for more than they would get for the 5600G to offset the cost of gettinga cpu that competes with the comparable ryzen. If you say it's common I'll believe you because I don't really feel strongly about it either way. Straw polls on Hardware Unboxed told me otherwise but enthusiasts are a weird niche and I'm willing to be wrong on that.
Late edit, by the way did you intentionally misrepresent what the article said to prop up your narrative believing I wouldn't call you out on it or did you just not actually read the whole thing before projecting that was what I did by asserting it contradicted me?
