Where have you sourced a tiny motherboard?

The ad-copy for both days "ARMv8" and I haven't really dig into the specs. They are last-year new chips, so probably A55 cores, but 32 (eMAG) or 48 (ThunderX) of them is still a lot of power.

There are plenty of miniITX motherboards for ryzen (AM4 socket) that are strong enough for 12 to 16 cores (normal clocks) since they support overclocking of 8-cores. Example:

They are just 6.7 x 6.7 inches, perfect for my build.
Yes, definitely last year's "ARMv8" server chips will not be Cortex-A76 or above. If I was going to build an ARM server SoC mini PC I would wait few months to get the new generation chips...
