    Does AMD make a good low power CPU? Have been thinking of getting an N150 mini PC. Low price and very low power usage. Use it for self hosting a bit.

      You’ll want one of their monolithic chips that’s intended for laptops. They do sell some of these chips as desktop models, such as the APUs, but a lot of the mini-desktop AMD systems I’ve seen straight up use a mobile chip in them.

      With that said, AMD doesn’t really sell anything that competes directly with things like the N150.

      The AI Max series is a beast and that with super low voltage + really good gaming, computing its just perfect. (See Framework desktop ) (For me a whole gaming pc, under 400 watts of power is a low powered pc. When a comparable intel + nvidia pc needs at least 700-900 watts
