The Gigabyte Z590I Aorus Ultra is Mini-ITX in form factor but despite its tiny size it still manages to pack a punch. The key feature is the arrangement of 10x 90A Digital power stages for the CPU plus one 60A DrMOS for the SoC. The downside of the ITX layout means the components and hardware are necessarily crammed in tightly and you have very little space to work with. Gigabyte has demonstrated that it is possible to build a tiny PC around Intel Rocket Lake but you will need a decent cooling system to handle significant levels of power and heat.
