I’ve been getting good price/perf just doing the top AMD consumer CPU’s. Wish someone would make an AM5 platform motherboard with out of band / remote console mgmt. that really is a must if you have a bunch of boxes and have them somewhere else. The per core speeds are high on these. 16 core / 32 threads/boxe gets you enough for a fair bit.

Have you taken a look at any of AsrockRack's offerings? They've got some prelim 650 mATX boards: https://www.asrockrack.com/general/productdetail.asp?Model=B...

It’s a fantastic board spec. Timing with them on availability can take longer. If they can get VMware compatible would be great. Because they have dual 10g you need no network card in most cases. AM5 integrated graphics allows bring up / troubleshooting with no additional card (if remote console not working well). My use case I’d trade an extra m2 slot for a pci slot but can see their approach. These boards fit in nice compact setups as a result because u can run no pci and no hd setups
