Yeah.... I really wish AMD packaged these for their AM2 socket so we could use commodity boards for them. Sure at that TDP your run of the mill mainboard is a significant power draw, but the other all system is still less than the 35w CPU I ended up with. (I just finally replaced my core2duo with a low power AMD because the price was so wildly better than the intel open and I could actually order the AMD one from retailers rather than shady eBay second hand cpus)

That was exactly my thought -- my desktop is currently a Ryzen 3 APU anyway, and I'd love to go with a cooler-and-quieter option, as long as it's socketed so I can drop in a new chip in a few years as my needs change. (Also hello from the D!)
