There are some new AMD-based NUC-type systems which seem to be picking up the NUC mantle that Intel abandoned.

Serve The Home is also a big fan and reviews anything in this form factor that comes out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RzXkGrVBQ_4

I just got an Asus PN53 with the Ryzen 7735H processor at work. Officially it only supports 32GB but I slapped two 32GB sticks in there for 64GB total and it worked just fine. Takes a minute or two to train the memory on first boot though!

Anyway, with a fast PCIe 4.0 NVMe OS disk it's plenty fast for me. Benchmarks puts it on par with my Ryzen 3800X at home.

Supports additional NVMe and a 2.5" SATA so fair bit of storage, and sports 2.5GbE.

Haven't tried to stress the GPU, but feels smooth in Windows, YouTube in Firefox and all that jazz.

There's also the Akasa Turing Duo case[1] if you want to make it fanless.
