Almost makes you wonder how many old, but working desktop CPUs could be underclocked and repurposed.

  Yes, except the decade of soldered CPU and RAM behind us.

    In desktop computers?

      “desktops”: it’s somewhat common with mini-ITX and Intel NUCs

        That's news to me. Since when do mini-ITX mainboards have soldered in CPUs or RAM?
        • tgragnato 6y ago
          The first I've seen was boards for AMD APUs (2011+). https://www.manualslib.com/manual/628934/Sapphire-Audio-Pure-Fusion-Mini-E350.html?page=7#manual https://www.manualslib.com/manual/628934/Sapphire-Audio-Pure... (soldered CPU in the low res picture) But it's not specific to AMD mbs, many Intel Atom have a soldered CPU. https://www.mini-itx.com/2017/10/09/intel-atom-c3958-gets-benchmarked-on-gigabytes-ma10-motherboard https://www.mini-itx.com/2017/10/09/intel-atom-c3958-gets-be... (Atom C3958 [..] is a fully fledged server-grade (!!)SoC) RAM is usually upgradable. For processors it depends on what you buy.

    erm nope? modular desktop computers were and are a niche.
