It's unfortunate that AMD has no chips with weak integrated graphics. Their non-G chips require an external GPU, while the G line has a high powered iGPU, which costs you compute performance.
AMD doesn't really have a good offering for small fast home servers that will sit in a closet.
- walterbell 7y agoThey have the $55 2C/4T Athlon 200GE with Vega 3, https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/amd-athlon-220ge-240ge-vega-cpu,5988.html https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/amd-athlon-220ge-240ge-... Or 8-core Epyc embedded server motherboard with VGA BMC from Supermicro, https://www.servethehome.com/supermicro-m11sdv-8c-ln4f-review-amd-epyc-3251-mitx-platform/ https://www.servethehome.com/supermicro-m11sdv-8c-ln4f-revie...
- ridiculous_fish 7y agoWhat they're missing is something like the i5 8600 or i7 8700. That embedded server looks sweet but is overkill for most homes in terms of connectivity and price.
- chithanh 7y agoASRock Rack X470D4U comes with onboard BMC and doesn't use integrated graphics. Also you can limit the power that the iGPU uses if you absolutely want, but as long as it is mostly idle I see no reason to do that.
- JoshuaRLi 7y agoAgreed. Although alternatively, some ARM SoCs have relatively weak iGPUs, which make them great hobbyist headless machines.
