I want to get a mini PC or Small Form Factor or a SBC. I haven't yet made up my mind as to what processor to choose - ARM, like Raspberry Pi, or X86. There are few ARM-optimized Linux distros. So, I'm leaning towards X86.</P><P>I've noticed that most minis or SFFs or SBCs have Intel processors. Very few have AMD processors.</P><P>Why is that?</P><P>&nbsp;</P> Sun, 04 Jan 2026 23:35:07 GMT https://community.intel.com/t5/Embedded-Intel-Core-Processors/Intel-processors-in-SBC/m-p/1732354#M5884 Macnerd 2026-01-04T23:35:07Z https://community.intel.com/t5/Embedded-Intel-Core-Processors/Intel-processors-in-SBC/m-p/1732356#M5885 <P>Because Intel does not deal in AMD processors.</P><P>You need to ask your questions to those OEMS who make such devices.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Doc (not an Intel employee or contractor)<BR />[Windows 11 is a keystroke logger]</P> Sun, 04 Jan 2026 23:40:22 GMT https://community.intel.com/t5/Embedded-Intel-Core-Processors/Intel-processors-in-SBC/m-p/1732356#M5885 AlHill 2026-01-04T23:40:22Z
