Options for low TDP small/nuc PC

Hi, I'm looking to buy a small computer to upgrade my setup for selfhosted servers. Right now I'm running containers directly on my qnap nas but I would like to migrate most of them on a dedicated server. I'm looking for something that could run docker with stuff like plex, arrr apps, Torrenring, wireguard, vault garden and more. I would like for that server to be very power efficient, something running with as low as 65w TDP or less and also I would like it to be a small computer, something like beelink or Lenovo tiny form factor for example . I looked some small pc from Lenovo, Dell, hp and as I understood it is a bit messy with the power usage depending of the cpu. So I was wondering what would me options be here? Is there other people here who also wanted to run power efficient servers if yes what did you found?

Running an odroid h3+ for home server running plex, the goodies and a bunch of home lab stuff on it hasn't missed a beat it's tiny and powerful

I should also look for odroid they sound great to, but if I'm not mistaken they are running on a arm processor right?

I love the Odroids. Perfect also for clustering setup, as they are pretty cheap in terms of buying price but also operating costs.
