Anyone looking to get the Minisforum S1 Max mini PC with AMD Strix Halo??
This new mini PC looks to be rack mountable [New Release] MS-S1 MAX – Ryzen™ AI Max+ 395 Mini Workstation | Minisf. I created a forum post about this one here as well: Minisforum MS-S1 Max with 128 GB of RAM and AMD Strix Halo HX processor – Mini PCs – VHT Forum

Suggestion for Homelab
Hey guys what do you suggest in place of my Dell R420 servers which is very power hungry current CPU Top of the line E5-2470 v2. But whether is Idle mode or full Load it draws lots of power. Running Proxmox OS which runs VM, Docker just 4 VMs. So I was thinking of some small factors considering the performance should not drop but power load is not much. I will run on Proxmox nodes with mini PCs and learn Kubernetes K3s.Was thinking to get this Minisforum MS-01 120009H with 96GB RAM as my main Proxmox nodes. Let me know your thoughts on this will be appreciated.

@Jeff Newman good explanation but how much difference do you see? R740 is beefy and can handle enough workload.

@Jeff Newman my main issue is this R420 is quite old gen with DDR3 RAM running E52470 v2 processors
