The Ryzen 5600G was (when it was released back in 2021) a fantastic little CPU that happened to have one of the most powerful integrated graphics solutions on the market.
Still, the Ryzen 5600G was a decent enough processor for most, and you’d be hard-pressed to tell the difference between it and a 5600X for most games.
The Vega 7 iGPU is quite old at this point and nowhere near the more modern RDNA 2- and RDNA 3.5-based integrated graphics.

For starters, it’s built on the newer RDNA 3 graphics and has way more CUs to deliver extra performance.
