There's a lot to be said for 1L form factors, which were included in the article, which are basically the size of a Mac Mini.
I have an HP ProDesk 405 Mini, with an AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 4750GE (Zen 2 based). 8 cores, 16 threads, with a base clock of 3.1GHz and boosts to 4.3GHz. Includes 8 Vega 64 GPU cores. Tossed 64GB of memory into it and a 1TB Samsung 980 Pro. Supports AMD Dash for basic LOM.
Idles at like 12-14W. Always silent. When stuff with the 5750GE hit they'll be better still. It's a great (and cheaper!) alternative to something like a Threadripper 5970X (when it hits in Novemberish) desktop if you wanted to cluster a few and have a low-power Apache Spark cluster that can actually rip through things. I think the only downer would be the lack of 10GbE support unless the next round of 1Ls offer 10GbE cards as options.
