Got any specs on those Atoms? A passively cooled homelab build sounds pretty interesting...

I have [1] which has a similar chip to what the parent described. Its a fun little computer.

I'm planning on building a mini-ITX Atom-based system in the future either with a Jasper Lake (Pentium N6005) or a future Alder Lake-L CPU. ASRock makes mini-ITX motherboards with integrated Atom CPUs that are a bit more modern than Supermicro offerings.
I'm not waiting for an eventual tiny improvement in Gflops/watt... the SuperMicro boards are really industrial and the Atom line is being cancelled for a low wattage version of the consumer chips!

I think these boards are the first and last to be able to run 100 years! Earlier models consume too much energy and subsequent will be too fragile/complex!

It's the SuperMicro ones from 2017.
