AMD Phoenix CPU brings palm-sized SBC to life for up to $329 — NexT-SBC packs 32GB LPDDR5-6400 and triple M.2 PCIe 4.0 SSD slots

The Next-SBC.

A powerful new SBC (via ETA Prime) that puts an AMD Phoenix chip in the palm of your hand is on its way to crowdfunding. In addition to the star attraction of the Ryzen 7 7840HS processor with Radeon 780M iGPU, the device comes blessed with a trio of M.2 PCIe Gen4 SSD slots (and up to 32GB of RAM).

While the AMD 7000 series mobile processors are a couple of generations old, they still offer enough processing power for all but the most strenuous tasks. The Phoenix 7040 series was particularly admired at launch for its compelling balance of CPU and iGPU prowess. This chip on a handy tiny SBC, albeit one crowned with a lump of a black shroud, seems like an attractive proposition to PC tinkerers, enthusiasts, and DIYers.
