This is what the modern “Frankenstein monster” looks like. The Chinese made a desktop motherboard without a chipset, with full DDR slots and a soldered Alder Lake H45 CPU

The Chinese love to combine things that are seemingly incompatible. For example, release discrete graphics cards with mobile GPUs or use mobile processors in desktop motherboards. The device shown in the photo below belongs to the latter option.

This is what the modern “Frankenstein monster” looks like.  The Chinese made a desktop motherboard without a chipset, with full DDR slots and a soldered Alder Lake H45 CPU

This is a motherboard designed by Maxsun engineers (the company owns the Meterstone brand). The peculiarity of the novelty (apparently, the Mini-ITX format) is the placement of the mobile Intel Alder Lake H45 CPU directly on the motherboard. Since Alder Lake-P is a CPU and a chipset in one package, there is no separate chipset on the board as in full desktop motherboards. At the same time, there are no slots for SODIMM modules on the board, which would be logical, given the mobile nature of the CPU. Instead, there are two full-size slots. And even a discrete graphics card can be connected to this board – due to the PCIe x16 slot.

A custom cooling system should be included with this motherboard, as standard desktop Alder Lake solutions are not suitable here. As for the processor itself, according to rumors, either the top 14-core Core i7-12700H CPU or the 12-core Core i5-12500H is installed here.
