The good. It has a serial port!

A newly released hardware description and configuration has been added to
the AstLinux documentation:
Jetway JBC430U941 Quad Core Fanless Celeron N3160
https://doc.astlinux-project.org/userdoc:board_jetway_jbc430u941
I personally purchased a Jetway HBJC430U941-316B (Model: JBC430U941) (No
RAM, No SSD) via Amazon:
Jetway HBJC430U941-316B Celeron N3160 Quad Core Fanless Firewall IoT Mini
PC, 4X GbE LAN ...
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07WSJFBZ4/
https://mitxpc.com/products/hbjc430u941-316b (Direct for $269.95 + shipping)
$299.95 USD -- Jetway HBJC430U941-316B Celeron N3160
$ 21.99 USD -- Transcend 32GB SATA III 6GB/S M.2 Type 2242 SSD TS32GMTS400S
$ 19.99 USD -- Kingston Technology 4GB 1600MHz DDR3L PC3-12800 1.35V
Non-ECC CL11 SODIMM
$ 0.00 USD -- Shipping (Included)
The Jetway JBC430U941 offers:
-- Small fanless case, 5.1 x 4.3 inch (129 x 109 mm) footprint
-- Intel Celeron CPU N3160 @ 1.60GHz
-- 4x Intel i211 NIC's
-- Supports M.2 Type 2242 SSD
-- Supports Serial (RJ45) or Video (HDMI) Console
-- Piezo speaker
-- Power button
No surprise, line-speed 1Gbps network routing and near line-speed WireGuard
VPN endpoint.
This Jetway N3160 appliance makes a fine AstLinux box.
The Good:
* Has a 2 year limited warranty and Long-life Series, Planned Lifecycle
Through Q1'2031
* Includes plastic dust plugs for all the ports
* Ethernet MAC OUI's match the hardware manufacturer, imagine that :-)
* Jetway tech support was very responsive
The Bad:
* The CPU temp appears to run 10 C higher (but not excessive) than a
similar Qotom box, possibly the extra unused GPU/video SoC circuitry. I
contacted Jetway tech support and they did not indicate any BIOS setting that
would help, possibly the request planted a seed to investigate more. Possibly
the Qotom CPU's have failed but unneeded video circuitry disabled on the die,
who knows.
* Price, at $270-$300 USD it currently does not offer a value solution
compared to other hardware
The Jetway N3160 appliance has run solidly for a few days, further updates
as needed.

Followup, performance comparisons:
I performed some multi-core WireGuard VPN performance tests while noting
the CPU temps for 4 similar hardware appliances.
In all cases, a 10 minute WireGuard iperf3 test to a common VM (AstLinux in
Proxmox), one at a time.
In all cases, all cores are running at 70-80% .
