I've been debating getting a small pc too run a dedicated minecraft server. Given the way a few sales are atm my choices seem too be between a prebuilt micro-pc with a 5500u in it (specifically the Peladn WO4 Mini PC Ryzen 5 5500u); or building my own mini-itx pc with a ryzen 5500. The latter will cost about 100-150 dollars more depending on how cheap I can find a decent power supply and SSD (have spare ddr4 for the build so that fortunately isn't a concern), but will have a full Ryzen 5500.

So the question is, is the "upgrade" from a 5500u even needed for running a modded server? Don't have something specific in mind atm but the modpack I'll be putting together will be around 100-150 mods.

As one final note, supposedly the 5500 is a bit lacking in L3 cache size, does this matter at all for servers? Peladn does have a 5600u mini-pc on sale for only about 50 more so that might be a third-option if that holds the 5500 back too far.
