I understand that sometimes SOC/soldered-on chips arrive before standard CPUs. My Zotac CI232 is still working but shutting down unexpectedly. I've already tried reapplying thermal paste to check for overheating, though the product quality wasn't ideal. I was hoping to get a Zen 3-based mini PC soon, but...I need something faster. Do any mini PCs or other devices use a Zen 3 CPU? Or are those still being developed in AMD's labs?

SOC represents a chip with integrated system functionality.

Systems on a chip are common, though not all AMD CPUs are officially classified this way. There isn’t a Zen 3 processor available at the moment.
