> Despite talk of alternatives in these comments, there is nothing on the market that checks all of the same boxes that the APU2 does: 1) AMD64 2) fanless 3) low power 4) multiple interfaces 5) under $200.

ODROID-H3/ODROID-H3+, maybe? [1, 2]

1) AMD64/x86-64 architecture (Intel chip).

2) optional fan; I'm unsure if it's necessary for any particular load

3) 2W at idle up to 18W with CPU+GPU pegged

4) 2 2.5GbE NICs builtin, M.2 card available to add another 4

5) bare board is $165 direct from hardkernel (H3+) or $129 (H3). Almost certainly over $200 once you include RAM, SSD, case, power supply, and shipping, but I think the same is true for pcengines stuff too?

Huh. Well that's very interesting, I hadn't run across this before. Thank you.
