You’ll want one of their monolithic chips that’s intended for laptops. They do sell some of these chips as desktop models, such as the APUs, but a lot of the mini-desktop AMD systems I’ve seen straight up use a mobile chip in them.
With that said, AMD doesn’t really sell anything that competes directly with things like the N150.
The AI Max series is a beast and that with super low voltage + really good gaming, computing its just perfect. (See Framework desktop ) (For me a whole gaming pc, under 400 watts of power is a low powered pc. When a comparable intel + nvidia pc needs at least 700-900 watts
From what I’ve seen, the lowest power (well, TDP) that AMD targets is 15-28W (e.g., AMD Ryzen™ AI 5 330). They do not really have an equivalent to the N-chips of intel, which are all Gracemont E-cores (severely cut down in performance). The zen 4c/5c cores are not really equivalent to the Intel E cores (much more powerful), hence they do not have a core that targets a low performance + low power target such as intel N100/N150. The competitor for those would be ARM.
Does AMD make a good low power CPU? Have been thinking of getting an N150 mini PC. Low price and very low power usage. Use it for self hosting a bit.

Maybe the A series?

Not sure if you understood my message, looking for something that is low power usage. Like tens of watts peak. Not many hundreds of them.
I mean with intel you wont find that either
The N150 I was talking about in my initial comment

ARM is a potential option, but x86 can be pretty nice to have.
