A Ryzen 7 Mini-PC, specifically the ASRock DeskMini X600, is highlighted as a power-efficient VM host by Michael Stapelberg. The machine, equipped with an AMD Ryzen 7 8700G CPU, consumes less than 10W of power and supports ECC RAM. Stapelberg details the components used, assembly process, UEFI setup, and operating system installation with Proxmox for virtualization. The Mini-PC's power usage is praised for being under 10W at idle and around 50W under load. Noise levels are low due to the Noctua NH-L9a-AM5 fan, making it suitable for quiet environments. Performance comparisons show the Mini-PC excelling in handling Go workloads, with benchmarks showcasing its speed compared to other systems. Stapelberg concludes by recommending the DeskMini X600 for various applications, emphasizing its modern features, compact size, and efficiency for continuous operation.

4 commentsI'd rather not get a G core, but hearing that this system idles at 10W is incredible. That's what my 8600t HP tiny PC's idle at. That would be stellar.
I'd love to see more reviews and write ups include power consumption, and also ideally suspend capabilities. Ideally wwol would also be verified working.
Besides, the barebones unit is over €200, the 8700G is €300, and RAM is €150-250, for a total of €650-750. Meanwhile an 8GB Raspi 5 is less than €90 all-in and a 7 node cluster of these would use about as much power in total as the 8700G does on its own.
