but thankfully there are parts of my #surfhosting tech stack which are fairly settled already:

OS: #LinuxMint; #Debian (with #LXQt if needed, or #BunsenLabs); #OpenWRT

Virtualization: #Proxmox

Hardware: refurb "1-liter" #1LPC business #miniPC from HP, Dell, Lenovo, with mid to high end CPU

Network: #GLiNet and #FriendlyElec #NanoPi routers / network-attached devices; #PiVPN

Phone: #VoipMS with dedicated SIP phone, plus softphone apps for limited use

Power: 90% of everything powered from compact #GaN USB-PD power supplies; 24/7 gear backed by ~15 year old consumer UPSes with drop-in LFP 12V batteries

#ServeTheHome takes a look at the first 1-liter PC to (unofficially) support 128GB of RAM, the Lenovo M75q Tiny Gen5.

reviewed unit has an AMD Ryzen 7 Pro 8700GE processor, 35 watt TDP.

overall a very promising Proxmox box, only stumbling blocks are that it still ships with 1Gbps ethernet, and SATA is no longer supported.

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!

Presumably there will also be the -GE series released alongside the -G, like there was with the Ryzen 5000 series APUs.

In other words, you can get a 5750G with a TDP of somewhere around 65 watts, or a 5750GE with a TDP of 35 watts. For this reason, the -GE series is what's been used in so-called "1-liter" #1LPC designs such as the HP EliteDesk Mini.

I think the -G and -GE are identical, the -GE is just a TDP-down release of the same silicon.
