I'm using an AMD EPYC Embedded 3201. This is an 8-core (no hyperthreading) Zen 1-based processor with a 1.5GHz base clock and 3.1GHz max boost and 30W TDP. It came on a SuperMicro M11SDV-8CT-LN4F motherboard to which I've added a dual port 10GbE network adapter. Most of the four 1GbE ports on the board are disabled save for the one supporting IPMI.

I'd prefer a newer generation Zen CPU, but AMD doesn't currently have a recent embedded-application CPU with anything approaching that low a TDP.

Something like an Intel Atom C3758 would be the Intel comparison point, but the EPYC Embedded uses a bit less power at idle (the base clocks of the C3758 are higher), and the EPYC Embedded's ability to turbo means it has more headroom when required for only about 5W additional power draw. Moreover, the EPYC Embedded has about 170% more overall CPU performance than the Atom.
