  1. You make a persuasive argument. I spent a premium ca 2020 on what is probably the smallest desktop motherboard with a non-embedded CPU, because I loved the idea that I could always upgrade later. Welp, that didn't pan out as the AM4 socket was retired before a better APU came along. So now I'm sitting here looking at the 4x4 7xxxHS boards and asking—is it really worth holding out for AMD to release another G-series (and hope that someone makes a 5x5 mobo for it) when I probably will need to replace the motherboard by the time that APU needs to go out to pasture? And then that conversation extends into soldered-on RAM and maybe even SSDs, especially when you look at the power efficiency of full-on SoCs, and you can see the death of the building one's own PC not too far beyond the horizon.
