Minisforum launched the BD895i SE with an AMD Ryzen 9 8945HX soldered straight onto a Mini-ITX board that keeps the same tiny footprint as their older model. The chip packs 16 cores running at 5.4 GHz max with Radeon 610M graphics for display duties, and the whole thing targets small form factor rigs that need actual horsepower for rendering or virtual machines without taking up desk space.
The board handles 96 gigs of DDR5 through SO-DIMM slots, throws in a full PCIe 5.0 x16 slot for proper GPUs, and gives you dual M.2 slots for NVMe drives. Rear panel sports USB-C with DisplayPort passthrough, HDMI 2.1, 2.5 gig Ethernet, and the usual audio jacks. Ships with a tower cooler that takes 120mm fans you supply yourself.
Going for 425 bucks overseas right now for people building compact workstations who refuse to compromise on CPU grunt.
