2023 - options?

[Ronni Hostrup]

Hi @zilexa
Found your guide very usefull.
I looking into updating my old homeserver - mainly because it idles at approx: 50w
and with the current danish energy prices - it's time to update the old i3 540 from 2011.

Now in 2023 - with gen 12 and gen 13 cpu's
it looks like the prices for socket 1200 or even 1700 is worth considering.
i have been looking at the asrock barebones:

H470 (socket 1200)
https://www.asrock.com/nettop/Intel/DeskMini%20H470%20Series/index.asp

and
the B660 (socket 1700)
https://www.asrock.com/nettop/Intel/DeskMini%20B660%20Series/index.asp

do you think theese are worth considering?
for me personally ECC is not a big concern.

Or do you still consider the gen9 / gen10 cpu's to be the most energy efficient?

This is a year later, but currently looking into this now...

I've seen some information online that seems that Intel 11-14 gen may have increased a bit at idle:

Although I'm somewhat skeptical on the results seen here.

I'm actually thinking about testing out the AMD APUs. It seems 5000G series has had good results at idle:

Curious what the 8000G series will be at.
