What would be the next upgrade point from R630/R730 v4 CPUs in order to, say, half idle power usage? (alien.top)

I have few machines and am wondering when to start bothering with upgrades. Power is not too expensive here so I would probably switch if I can halve the idle wattage whenever more recent used hardware hits the second hand market.

I am currently looking at 70-90W per server.

NAS server has 4 disks 1 ram stick, proxmox has 8 disks full ram.

Alternatively, do I ride with the current setup until they fall apart?

The density and cost and power consumption has been climbing with rackmount gear, honestly I kinda see it hitting the point where the gear you can get your hands on gets too expensive or too power hungry.

I think one of the upcoming ryzen APU's in a jonsbo n3 would be a killer low power setup, memory costs will be painful to get a decent amount into an itx board, you could add 1l PC nodes once you have the NAS already though.
