For anyone that doesn't need the highest performance and where efficiency is super important, I can recommend the current generation of mini PCs/NUCs that run mobile chips. Last summer I picked up Ryzen 7 7940HS-based mini PC that idles at about 10W (from the wall), has a decent iGPU (the Radeon 780M is about on par with a mobile GTX 1650), and its 65W-max Zen 4 cores (8x) actually manages to be very competitive with my old custom 5950X workstation: https://github.com/lhl/linuxlaptops/wiki/Minisforum-UM790-Pro#passmark-performancetest-linux https://github.com/lhl/linuxlaptops/wiki/Minisforum-UM790-Pr... Intel Meteor Lake NUCs should perform similarly, but they tend to be a few hundred dollars more for basically the same performance (the Minisforum EliteMini UM780 XTX barebones is currently $440, the cheapest Core Ultra 7 155H minipc I could find was the ASRock Industrial NUC BOX-155H at $700). At this point though, personally, I'd wait for the upcoming Zen5/RDNA3.5 Strix Point APUs, which should be the next big jump up in terms of performance.
