AMD Launches Ultra-Low-Power Ryzen Embedded APUs: Starting at 6W
While it doesn't get the same attention as their high-profile mobile, desktop, or server CPU offerings, AMD's embedded division is an important fourth platform for the chipmaker. To that end, this week the company is revealing its lowest-power Ryzen processors ever, with a new series of embedded chips that are designed for use in ultra-compact commercial and industrial systems.
The chips in question are the AMD Ryzen Embedded R1102G and the AMD Ryzen Embedded R1305G SoCs. These parts feature a 6 W or a configurable 8 W - 10 W TDP, respectively. Both SoCs feature two Zen cores with or without simultaneous multithreading, AMD Radeon Vega 3 graphics, 1 MB L2 cache, 4 MB L3 cache, a single channel or a dual-channel memory controller, and two 10 GbE ports.
[...] Both ultra-low-power AMD Ryzen Embedded APUs will be available for the next 10 years, meaning availability will stretch all the way till 2030.

Yes, that's the one. Black plastic case. Model # TS10 as I recall.

They should make those things out of aluminum. Watch them get 25% higher clocks or better sustained performance.

I've seen some very nice aluminum m.2 ssd > usb chassis that are aluminum and damn near a perfect match, it's such a questionable design decision to use plastic.

This is of a similar size, with the same problem to deal with: heat. The solution is obviously not neato looking black plastic, unless you get the ASUS dongle just to stare at it.
