What the heck did HP just announce? ("Next Gen Ryzen R-series mini-desktop....?)

So yeah, this just hit the newswires (Crosslink to Liliputing).
So the gist is that HP just pre-announced a few products, and one might be of interest to the TMM crowd - a t655 thin client meant to be powered by a "Next Gen Ryzen R-series". Considering that the current R-series is just a rebadged long availability Raven Ridge, the next-Gen is (hopefully) a core-gimped Renoir or Rembrandt...hopefully the latter and based on this.

Eiher ways, it could be:
a) A more performant small box for a reasonable amount (assuming that they put in dual SODIMM slots like the 640)
b) The t640 is going to drop in price (kinda doubt it, the 640s were not as liquid on secondary markets as the t740).

No quickspecs or re-cycling guides yet, but we shall see. Some sites report an "Elite 655 Skinny Consumer PC" but that doesn't sound like the name of an actual product.
