I want those new low-TDP Ryzens either as AM4 socketed or mounted in mini-ITX motherboards, but only the higher TDP desktop models seem to be available.

- dcow 6y agoLenovo just released the Thinkpad X13 (an AMD version of the X1) for the first time. It has a 10/25w TDP 44/46/4750U. I think the focus right now for the lower TDP chips is laptop computing because that's where you'll see the most improvement. I've been following the market for the past 9 or so months because I need a new machine and both Intel and AMD have taken that strategy. Look at the ASUS G14. A laptop that can nab 10h of battery life on a 76 watt x h battery because its workstation (H, not U) series processor is only pulling 10W. And it benches close to a desktop 10th gen i7 at full power. It's getting exciting.
- KozmoNau7 6y agoAMD really are trying to get in the enterprise laptop segment, simply because that's where Intel has had a near-monopoly since the Pentium M. So I know why I can't get a good mini-ITX board, but I still really want one :-) As is, my best option for the living room NAS/HTPC turned out to be a J4105 board from ASRock. 10w TDP and apparently it can do 4 simultaneous GPU-accelerated 4K transcodes, which is pretty neat. Perhaps I'll upgrade to an AMD board at some point.
