My proxmox cluster just got a serious upgrade, adding 3 more AsRock 4×4 4800u nodes.
And I did not yet remove the old CI323 nodes, thus the overall capacity in the cluster is currently:
16 cores at 1.6-2.08GHz
16 cores at 0.4-4.2GHz
320GB RAM
12GB SSD
20TB NAS / NFS / S3

AsRock 4×4 Box-4800u mini PC
Decided to try the new Asrock 4×4 Box 4800u mini PC, as a replacement in my ProxMox Cluster.
And WOW ! what a platform.
The Ryzen 7 4800u runs at max 4.2GHz, but I use it in powersave mode anyway. TDP is 15Watts only
I use it with 64GB of RAM and an internal 1GB M2.SSD WD SN550.
Thus my Proxmox got a serious power upgrade. Looking forward to replace my old CI323 nodes soon, currently I run on 5 nodes in Proxmox,
making the reaction time of my kubernetes nodes much much faster.
Zotac CI323 nano
Just bought 4 Zotac CI323 nano’s to set up a low energy proxmox cluster.
With only 12x12cm those machines are tiny, and they only require 7 watts.
Inside I do use 16GB RAM (officially 8GB only, but it works with low powere RAM) and with a 500GB SSD from Samsung.
Thus the Proxmox cluster has 16 cores at 1.6 to 2.08GHz and 64GB of RAM, with overall around 50Watts, when using the powersave governor in Linux.
