I'm running two Lenovo Tiny PCs with the 5650ge for my kids to play minecraft and Fall Guys (can connect them to the VESA mounts on the back of the monitor). This opens up a whole new level of gaming in that micro form factor.

can you install these on an intel thinkpad?

Assuming you're serious, no.

Most modern laptops have soldered down CPUs. Even with older or higher power models that are socketed, it's been a few decades since they were physically interchangeable between brands, and laptops generally used different sockets to desktops. Sockets also only last a couple of generations.

You can probably buy a ThinkPad with the (lower power/performance) laptop version of this chip, though

i figured it was likely but i kind of just wanted to understand exactly what this is. i thought it was a discrete gpu

No, it's just a CPU with very good integrated graphics, sufficient to beat many cheaper GPUs.
