Ryzen 7 Mini-PC makes a power-efficient VM host

When I saw the first reviews of the ASRock DeskMini X600 barebone, I was immediately interested in building a home-lab hypervisor (VM host) with it. Apparently, the DeskMini X600 uses less than 10W of power but supports latest-generation AMD CPUs like the Ryzen 7 8700G!

AMD confirms Ryzen 8000G APUs don't support ECC RAM, despite initial claims

Maybe wait for Ryzen 8000G Pro versions.
