My first thought was "I wonder how this would work as a small-factor game dev machine" and lo and behold, there is a clip of someone working in Godot running a debug version of their game. Very cool to see Valve market this as Linux PC rather than strictly gaming.

It's even worse value for productivity, though, because the CPU is purposely throttled to prevent overloading the thermal solution and the PSU.

I can't find evidence for this anywhere. Can you provide a source?

It's in the Gamers Nexus review, around the 23-minute mark: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=66QzlDewigE

The CPU hard-throttles to 4 GHz after exactly 8 minutes of sustained load.

Is sustained 4 GHz really so bad?

The point is there are better-value options if all you want is a SFF PC for development work. 16 GB is also pretty tight for development, come to think of it.
