It's worth noting AMD already included minimal GPUs in the desktop line for the Zen 4 generation, including video encode/decode. These, with the exception of the 8300G model, simply have larger GPUs but smaller cache and this might not be a good trade off for a NAS. The exception is the 8300G which is a good budget option having only 4 cores and no parallel in the desktop line.

These are monolithic dies from the laptop line so they have that going for them. According to the AMD website ECC support is enabled in these too: https://www.amd.com/en/product/14066 https://www.amd.com/en/product/14066 It seems AM5 motherboards are back to having ECC confirmed in the specs after AMD AGESA updates: https://www.asrock.com/MB/AMD/B650M%20Pro%20RS/index.asp#Specification https://www.asrock.com/MB/AMD/B650M%20Pro%20RS/index.asp#Spe... So pending some benchmarks 8700G+B650+ECC sounds like a good home server that should idle at low power.
