These are a nice replacement for the existing TS-x73 family with the addition of on-board NVME + 8 thread support.

the older models had the pre ryzen cpus. so i guess they may be phasing those out and going for ryzen only for amd solutions?

thats how i perceived this new batch of amd ryzen nas :X

would be interesting to have a cpu performance comparison vs like a celeron and i7 to put this 1500b into context. but it's probly a low power cpu which may be fine for 24/7 nas operation in terms of operating costs.

Ryzen Embedded V1500B is a 64-bit quad-core embedded x86 microprocessor introduced by AMD in December 2018. This processor is based on AMD's Zen microarchitecture and is fabricated on a GlobalFoundries 14 nm process. The V1500B operates at a base frequency of 2.2 GHz with a TDP of 16 W. This model supports a configurable TDP-down of 12 W and TDP-up of 25 W.

yeah at 16W TDP it's definitely made for low power consumtion applications.

but with 8 threads, so it's not going to be as limited as an arm cpu?

that said i don't know how well this will perform for something like say plex live transcoding would be interesting to see how that fares.

also with that many threads will it be sufficient to run vms?

Looks a nice spec'd NAS. wonder what retail pricing is going to be?
