Would be really interesting to have titles relevant for the iGPU tested here - like Counterstrike Global Offensive, League of Legends, Dota2, Fortnite and Apex Legends. Since building a cheap system to participate in the popular games that are free, or for entry level esports gaming, this CPU/APU could be very interesting.
I know the previous 2400G provided very playable framerates in these titles, but it'd be interesting to see how performance there increased. More so than in older single player games that very few people will play today compared to the popular esports titles.

Well yeah but...even non gaming site reporting is very gaming centric.
~If it doesnt game at 1080p at 60fps, it is beneath contempt.
Yet I struggle to think of a run of the mill; ~office, class, non gaming home app/work load - where a; big; ugly hot noisy separate ecosystem discrete gpu would be anything but an; expensive, power hungry, time wasting pain.
If time is of the essence, as it is in high labor cost economies, if the 3400g is a tad over priced - in this context it is a bit ..+~$40? - meh.
The apuS seem to sell steadily, even in DIY, despite the press they get. On the mindfactory charts they would represent one of Intel's best sellers if they were in the other column.
I dont recall it being clear that the 32/3400g are also a cpu shift from 14nm++ to 12nm - whatever the significance of that is?

I built a couple office boxes with these the other day. 3200mhz gskill flare x, b450 m-atx board, evo plus nvme, slightly upgraded cooling. They ran very nice for under 600 dollars. Can't imagine the average user not thinking it was very fast.
