Those seem to be 25+W CPUs, plus whatever the rest of the system needs.
What's available these days that's x86_64 and is 15W or under, and comes on mini ITX boards? Slow is fine, as long as it's reliable.

e.g. This one based on an Intel N3350 CPU with 6W TDP

I haven't seen a 64 bit solution that stayed relevant yet. Intel's Edison was the big contender, but has since died[1].
Gutting an ASUS Chromebox is a decent and cheap interim solution. They are well built, reliable, available, and cheap. Basically a subsidized Intel NUC.

Guess I can stick to my old trusty Atom for a while more.
Maybe this would fit your usecase? It has an Intel m3-7Y30 onboard.
I question their commitment to this space though.
Out of interest, why would you need to write a DSDT?
That's not as easy as it sounds. A few years ago I bought a Q1900 board and there are stability problems which might come from the hardware: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=109051
Unfortunately I don't think the motherboard allows 64 bit linux, and since 32 bit support is going to disappear in a few years I should be upgrading. I just have no idea what to :(
And what really scares me is they have Realtek network chips. Or are these good these days? I need to route 1 Gbps of internet, and when I bought the D2500 you needed Intel network chips to do that without using 250% CPU.
Edit and sadly an ALIX apu2 won't do for lack of enough SATA ports.
