For most people, this wouldn't be worth it, since you can buy a 5600G (Zen3 6C12T) for not much more.
PRO versions of AMD APUs are special, because they support additional security and reliability features, including ECC (Error Correction Code) memory (*if the motherboard supports it*).
4350G is also a bit special, in that, all 4 enabled cores are in the same core-complex, similar to 3300X (as opposed to 3100, which has 2 enabled cores each in 2 separate core-complexes). This quirk is only relevant for Zen2 and prior. Zen3 and later designs contain full 8 cores per core-complex.
I bought it to build a small (mini-ITX) low-power server, with ECC memory. I'm using an AsRock X470 Gaming-ITX/ac board. For my use, I don't need a lot of compute power, so 4-core Zen2 is more than enough. If I needed more compute, I'd have picked 4750G, 5750G, or even waited for the upcoming PRO 8000G, but getting PRO version of any of these APUs is not easy, because they are not sold through standard retail channels.
I got mine from 55TRADING, and apparently, these were originally intended for sale in S. Korea. I'm just glad I was able to get a PRO version of an AMD APU for a reasonable price. Apparently, there is (was?) enough of a market for a vendor to repackage these non-retail CPUs for individual sale. It is nicely packaged with a Wraith Stealth cooler. It's definitely new (i.e. never been used). Mine has date code of 2233PGS, so 33rd week of 2022. That's expected since it's Zen2.
There is a negative review saying it didn't come with a backplate. That's an invalid review. Standard backplate is part of a motherboard package, not a CPU package. Some coolers use proprietary mounting mechanism that does NOT use the standard backplate, so they include their own proprietary backplate. Many aftermarket coolers use the standard backplate anyway, and those will not include a backplate.
