Be decent in a HTPC with appropriate GFX card.

Since the low power apu models are oem, I would imagine these will be also.

yeah, or a great home server without a gfx or perhaps if they would integrate some basic gfx on certain mini itx boards/some kind of zotac zbox.

I wonder what cooler they will use, the wraith stealth or will they keep the wraith prism?...seeing as Ryzen "second generation" especially the 2700x all are able to hit pretty much the same speeds with that great cooler and XFR2 which seems to make manual forced overclocking near pointless, it shows AMD really does ensure through Lisa Su leadership to pay as much attention as they possibly can.

I wonder the pricing they will end up being, more expensive or less expensive than the non E models, likely a chunk more not less and may or may not be able to clock the same, usually the E models tend to actually clock up about the same as non E (intel or AMD) at a lower volt required to do so, but this is not always the case, suppose it depends on how tightly binned they are.

Also, I quite hate the so called "leaks" because either they are a product that will come out or one that will never see the light of day, like Vega 32 and 24, or AMD Phenom IV x12 170 "Baeca" 6Ghz 6 core 12 thread HAHAHAHA

I guess sites like WFCCTECH really go out of their way with their "sister sites" to post up all kinds of BS just to ensure webhits, and they make others such as Forbes follow suite, instead of reporting "real" they are focused on reporting "everything" even if it is as factual as pigs sprouting wings to fly back home to mars.

this just more or less comes down to the CPU being power configured to stay within a certain power envelope. I can see 1 core, even 2 core, turbo/XFR speeds being in the area of 4-4.2ghz or higher, though once heavy multithread loads come, voltage will be vastly cranked down and frequency sit around 2.8-3.2ghz. If it's binned to be a lower leakage part, this will further assist in effective frequency/voltage combos to get the highest frequency possible while respecting the maximum 45 watt power envelope.

On the flipside of things, because Ryzen is an always unlocked part, this reminds me of the old Athlon XP mobile CPUs being used in desktops because it was perceived that since it was a lower TDP chip, it had higher overclocking headroom. This might be the case for E suffix Ryzens too! it'll be interesting to see a 2700X, 2700, and 2700E tested side by side, and see things like power consumption/temperature at identical frequency, voltage, and load scenarios; lowest stable voltage for each CPU at a given frequency/load scenario; and maximum overclock speeds all around
