I was looking for either a shuttle or asrock deskmini machine with support for 12th gen 65W parts (Alder Lake). Seems they don't exists and I see no signs of them appearing any time soon, if ever.

Is 12th gen being skipped in favour of waiting for Raptor Lake to appear since its scheduled for 2H this year?
 
Seems a lack of H670 ITX motherboards too. Think only Asrock have a H670 chipset offering, while the rest have B660 chipsets that seems to be selling in retail for a higher price.
 
Feels like the whole SFF or mini Pc did their paper launches few months ago and its gone silent ever since.

Hopefully we get some product launches towards end of the year, but they do seem to be almost 1 year behind especially with mini pc market, there releasing 11th gen products still and during the 12th gen paper launches no less.

Gigabyte brix 12th gen should be coming this fall and so should 1 or 2 Asus AMD based mini pcs also.

Im looking forward to downsizing and hopefully saving electricity, hopefully these 15-20 watt mini pcs do justice.
 
Board like the ASRock Z690M-ITX and ASUS PRIME Z690M-PLUS D4 are available although expensive at £200

Even T series CPUs are around as well.
