Looking for a replacement cpu for my 2600 as that’s going to go in a bigger board and right now there’s like a £15 difference between the 2, now I know what the 1200 is like, but not the revamped Athlons and as I currently don’t have a gpu worthy of adding to the 1200 right now I was thinking I’d get the 200ge, but how much weaker is it? Light gaming and general use is the purpose.

How weak is the 200ge to the ryzen 1200?

Strange question or maybe i misunderstand?
The Athlon 200GE is very weak, its the one AMD ship out to you just so you can update the BIOS on 400 series boards to make it compatible with Ryzen 3000
The 2600 CPU is multiple times more powerful, your GTX 1060 is so much faster the 200GE iGPU wouldn't even register on a bar chart comparison with it.
If you're looking for an upgrade, you're looking at a GTX 1070 / GTX 1660TI, keep the 2600 its not going to sweat it under a GTX 1070 / GTX 1660TI.
Thanks for reply, but I think there’s a misunderstanding, I tried to be brief with my question.
I am in the process of ordering an M-atx board to replace my itx as I’ve got a bigger case that’s more fit for my new purpose, so basically minus the itx board I am transferring everything to the new case, so I’m not upgrading at all, Just the itx board & case will go to waste, so I want to build a system with it and all I need is a processor unless I don’t get an APU as the spare gpu I have is a 710 which I’m retaining still. I was looking at the 2200g, but £55 was my limit due to buying other board and these are priced new, I could go 2nd hand, I was just curious how enough a 200ge would be.
Now i understand, thanks
The 2200G is not bad, its the same type of CPU you have now, Zen or Ryzen 1000 series, there is little difference between Ryzen 1000 and your Ryzen 2000, so the CPU is good.
The iGPU is good for 720P <60Hz mid level graphics settings, some 1080P on older titles, much much much faster than the 710. but its not a as good a discrete GPU, its almost as good as a GT 1030, good enough for light gaming.
If they are more than £55, try used?
i put a 2200g into my old motherboard when i upgrade to my 3900x and made use of my b350 motherboard in a case for my beroom whilst its good enough for l work and webbrowsing, gaming isnt been all that good on its own. but that could be me either putting seting to high or just expectations that it will perform like my main pc. altho i decideed to to start using steam inhouse streaming and its gootten sooo much better hehe but if im honest the 2200g hass done everything ive thorwn at it pritty well for the price
Thanks for replies.
Well prior to me seeing this I had already gone and ordered the 1200 in the end, at £55 new I seemed it to be better than anything I could find used and within a proximity, I know what it’s like and it will work well in my itx board, I just need to find a gpu which I will get used as I’ve seem a gtx 960 for £40, seems decent so will ask about it.
The computer isn’t going to be intended for my use which is why I wanted something lower end and to spend as least as possible, I suppose if I went for a cheaper board I could’ve probably got the 2200g new, but it will have a 500w psu fitted, so might as well try use some of it ha.
Edit: goods heads up on the 200ge though, might be useful for a mini like pc down the line.

The Ryzen 3 1200 lacks integrated graphics and the Athlon 200GE has integrated graphics.
