ASRock DeskMeet & DeskSlim AM5 Mini PCs Revealed: X600 Motherboards, Designed For Next-Gen AMD Ryzen APUs
ASRock revealed its latest DeskMeet & DeskSlim AM5 Mini PCs which are designed around the next-gen AMD Ryzen APUs launching later this year.

Little bit more info there.
There's also this video here with Tech Yes City and Wendell going over it. There's also reference at 2:04 mention you can buy the board by itself.
So there hasn't really been a presentation of ASRock "DeskMini X600" in Mini-STX format like for the A300/X300 in their time, it's really sad 
... But maybe they are waiting for the release official of the next Ryzen "7xxxG/GE" APUs, so the adaptation of "Phoenix" die on Socket AM5?

Yes, they are probably waiting on the 7000G since that is what it is really designed for. And hopefully, it will be a similar implementation of the Knoll activator so will run without a chipset like AM4, which gives it even higher power efficiency.
AMD AGESA 1.0.9.0 BIOS Firmware Launches In Late August, Includes Support For Phoenix "Ryzen 7000G" APUs
AMD will offer its brand new AGESA 1.0.9.0 BIOS firmware for AM5 motherboards in late August which offers Ryzen 7000G "Phoenix" APU support.

Some hope there that Phoenix APU's are finally coming in desktop (socketed) SKU's
I'm guessing if AMD lets us have something in 2023 we will most likely get the monolithic version of Rembrandt with RDNA2 Ryzen 680m (12CU), which on desktop with access to much faster/better memory (6000mhz++) should match or exceed the current mobile Ryzen 780m (Phoenix) offerings. It's much faster than Vega 8 but still not quite the level needed for "1080p everything".
If we see AM5 Phoenix before 2024 it would be quite a nice shock since these have only just been released on mini PC format (Minisforum UM790). They will probably have even better IMC so better memory overclocking potential, and we can expect something like 3,500 to 4,000 Timespy score so somewhere between RX6400 and GTX 1060 level. This quite an accomplishment by AMD as you are getting an RX6400 "on chip" and finally the performance needed for 1080p at decent visual settings.
Hopefully the SOC voltage is not locked down too hard and can be adjusted to help stabilize the very fast desktop memory, otherwise there isn't much point of AM5 Phoenix and might as well get a laptop. Depending on how capable the IMC is, we can hope for up to 30% more performance on desktop as the performance scales in a linear way with memory speed. We might also see that the IMC in AM5 Phoenix is actually superior to all the AM5 predecessors, since the 5700G had the best IMC of the entire AM4 lineup released before it.

I think you will only find one in a used Deskmini 110. H110 motherboards were briefly available from Asus (also Q170 ST) ASRock and Gigabyte but I only ever saw the Asus boards for sale in the UK. The last boards I saw for sale were Asus Q170 STX on Aliexpress 3 or 4 years ago.
I looked for some time for one to put my i5 7500 in, but gave up. I bought a used DM A300 in the end as it had dual M.2 slots and stronger integrated graphics
Thanks for fast reply!
I tried my best google search skills - nothing. The thing is, my DeskMini H110 works, but lacks performance, because It had freeze problems (pretty common) and only solution was to use Intel Extreme Tuning Utility: https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=17021&title=solution-for-intel-graphics-freezing-system
Daily tasks, no problem, but everything that needs more GPU power, a lot of grey hairs
Then I thought that if I find correct motherboard, I can carry on calmly until new DeskMini comes out and go for it.My config:
Case: ASRock DESKMINI 110/B/BB Mini-STX
Mobo: AsRock H110M-STX
CPU: Intel® Core™ i5-7600 6M Cache, up to 4.10 GHz
CPU cooler: Noctua - NH-L9i 33.8 CFM CPU Cooler
SSD: Samsung 970 EVO Plus 500GB M.2 NVMe SSD
SSD2: Samsung 850 PRO SATA III 2,5" 256 GB SSD
HDD: Seagate FireCuda SSHD 2 TB ST2000LX001
WiFi: Intel Wireless-AC 9260 M.2 2230 + Bluetooth 5.0
You're welcome.
GPU power is a problem even with 5x00G APUs sadly.
You could create a more powerful setup using the M.2 slot to give you 4x PCIe link to a GPU, a power supply will be tricky to sort with 12v and 19v needed.
That's another advantage of the AMD version, as to could add a GPU and still have an M.2 NVME drive.

Not sure if this helps, but I came across this Fujitsu D3654-B Intel H310 STX motherboard here:
Fujitsu D3654-B Intel H310 Express LGA 1151 (Socket H4) Mini-STX
Intel H310 Express Chipset supporting DDR4-2666 SDRAM Memory and Intel 8 th generation Core TM i3 / i5 / i7 Processors

Ouch, my wallet is crying!

Contacted with ASRock about DeskMini based on AM5 with new AMD APU-s and answer was:
Actually we are waiting for AMD’s confirmed schedule as our hardware is ready. So basically we are looking at around November to January next year. Thank you!

As a last resort, I turned to ASRock that I have DeskMini H110 with the widely known iGPU problem (link) and can they somehow help me. They asked my DeskMini serialnumber and turned out that they have repaired H110M-STX motherboards to sell. The price was 60€ (includes shipping from Netherlands) - Of course I screamed "TAKE MY MONEY"
and communication was pretty fast. UPS delivery left everything to be desired, too slow, but finally it arrived. I was like a child to move parts from old motherboard to "new" one. Did fresh Windows install, everything was perfect...until...FREEZE! For ***** sake, really! 
Repaired one, they said...my hairy ***! That feeling, when you wanted something so much that solves your problem and then it doesn't...This arrived one is even worse than my broken one, because all you need is a couple of web browsers and youtube - done, complete freeze. Tried to play Lords Mobile in Steam, game cant even open - freeze or shut down. Tried to this Intel Extreme Utility tool trick - even this doesn't work (works with my broken one) - I don't know, what they repaired, but to use DeskMini I had to again move parts to my broken one...Do I have missed something ? 
I alose contacted with them, let's see, what they offer for solution, because at the moment this 60€ is very bad investment. 
I was gonna say, "am I missing something?" for ref: the B660 version is in stock on newegg for $179.99. I'm running one w/ 12100 and it's been fine. i'm very happy with it over it's deskmini 110 it replaced.

Update: After extensive testing I contacted ASRock again and told them that the motherboard they sent me, is defective. First of all they tried to deny, because they also tested it before they shipped it...but after I told them that I changed CPU, tried different RAM-s, power supply - suddenly they decided to sent me another one. I wasnt too thrilled at first, but after I replaced all the components and did my daily things...so far so good. Then tried heavy tasks and SOLID!
So, at this point I have now working H110M-STX motherboard and I'm really happy that after this mess I can use my DeskMini how I used too. Keep rollin'
