Anton, it is not just ITX, it is a THIN mini-ITX. Despite the same size, thin-ITX differs from regular ITX significantly. The main feature is 12-19V power input instead of regular ATX24+EPS.
For industrial users the 19-28V option is also available and usefully removes the requirement for a separate power supply. This also uses 4 pin latching connector on their other boards rather than the all too insecure barrel connector.
Transistor density in the AMD Excavator short cell libraries at 28nm LP is comparable to Chipzillah at 14nm, and obviously less than 14nm+ Kaby (with the wider gate pitch associated with a *decrease* in transistor density) . . .

Meanwhile Amd is still selling 28nm parts in this form factor.Smell This - Sunday, April 21, 2019 - link
Interesting that you brought that up.Transistor density in the AMD Excavator short cell libraries at 28nm LP is comparable to Chipzillah at 14nm, and obviously less than 14nm+ Kaby (with the wider gate pitch associated with a *decrease* in transistor density) . . .

I do like the use of a 15W TDP CPU, but I have had problems with similarly tiny cooling fans in the past.rahvin - Monday, April 22, 2019 - link
This type of application shouldn't have a fan at all. Most of the boards in this product segment are passive.
