How do the best integrated graphics compare performance-wise though? If they are way behind in performance, you might be able to buy a cheap 2GB VRAM GPU for less than a cutting edge integrated graphics CPU.

> you might be able to buy a cheap 2GB VRAM GPU Lol? It's another ~$100 what would not yield you any performance gains. Older 5700G was ~$300 so it was hardly a part of a budget build, but 5 5500GT is $125 (and would probably drop below $100 in a half/year) and would clearly offer at least 30fps on FullHD[0] and you would buy it anyway because it's a CPU. https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/amd-ryzen-5-5600g-review/3 https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/amd-ryzen-5-5600g-revie...

  >and you would buy it anyway because it's a CPU. This is the part that needs to be emphasized more, that iGPU is practically free because it comes with the CPU we're buying anyway. It's already hard enough to compete with free, but on top of that dGPUs are asking for Keksimus Maximus monies. The value proposition for gamers, let alone most consumer users, is very strongly favored towards iGPUs.

    Nothing is free. That CPU was going to be cheaper if if didn't include an iGPU. Free means you aren't going to pay anything.

      Current difference between AMD Ryzen 5 5600 OEM and AMD Ryzen 5 5600G OEM near me is less than $8.

      I said practically free.

  You can buy remanufactured RX580 8GB from aliexpress for $65. For $100 you can get a used Vega56 or a GTX 1070.

The best integrated graphics are about equivalent to a 1650. This assumes that the machine also has decently speedy RAM.
