so yesterday I said my general upgrade path was focused on Zen 3 machines, but I wasn't clear that that is my current horizon, or the furthest ahead I'm planning my mini PC upgrades (meaning eventual replacement of older machines) at this time.
I will be adding a third mini server to the flock soon, likely an Intel 9700T or 10500T machine, as those are increasingly available to po' folks like me dirt cheap on pcsrefurbished dot com.
the plan is to eventually replace that machine and my existing 8500T machine with machines based on Zen 3. but because I am working on a shoestring budget, the upgrade/replacement path has an Intel Skylake+++(+) stepping stone before Zen 3.
