Some specs for the Ryzen 8000GE series of 35-watt CPUs leaked recently. The figures include base clock but not boost clock or GPU clock.

Hardware looks identical to the 8000G series, just clocked down to fit in a 35-watt power envelope (more or less).

This is good news for people who want ultra-compact servers! There's even some hint that the PRO units may support ECC RAM.

I think the leaks about the Ryzen 8000G (and presumably 8000GE) APUs are exciting news for anybody who's trying to do actual work with tiny PCs that are limited to 35-watt processors.

That particular group of people includes me, and I'm very satisfied with the 5750GE-based #1LPC I picked up used a few months ago, so I'm hopeful the new APUs will continue to provide a really good value in this particular PC form factor.

Dollar for dollar, on the used ultra-compact PC market I have seen 5000GE-based systems consistently selling for less than an Intel system of equivalent capability ... assuming you can find one. They sell out quick.

AMD also has the lead over Intel (but not Apple) in terms of compute per watt.

It sounds promising!

Beelink GTR7 mini-PC Review: A Complete AMD Phoenix Package at 65W

Beelink became one of the first vendors to launch an AMD Phoenix (Zen 4 CPU + RDNA3 iGPU in a power envelop suitable for notebooks) mini-PC lineup when they announced the GTR7 product line.

The company sent over their entry-level version - the GTR7 7840HS - to put through our evaluation routine for small form-factor systems. Beelink is touting the use of vapor chamber-based cooling, allowing the Ryzen 7 7840HS to be configured with a 65W TDP (compared to the 35W-54W cTDP specified by AMD).

We are starting to see more Phoenix-based mini-PCs in the market from the likes of SimplyNUC (Moonstone), Morefine (M600), and MinisForum (UM790 Pro). Compared to these UCFF systems, the Beelink GTR7 seems to have an edge by operating the Phoenix SoC with a higher cTDP configuration and incorporating better connectivity.

@lcruggeri @juliank @Raspberry_Pi That should be totally feasible...

Personally, I think #UCFF aka "#NUC" is also a feasible form factor providing ample I/O space including 2x SoDIMM slots and 2x PCIe x4 NVMe-compatible M.2 slots...
