Theoretical maximum for generating text: memory bandwidth divided by the bytes read per token. Real runs usually reach about half to three quarters of it.

Where to buy

Prices are editorial references (launch price and a typical street price on the date shown), not live prices. In 2026 the memory shortage has pushed many prices well above launch.

Prices are shown only if updated in the last 24 hours and may change; the retailer’s price at checkout applies. We may earn a commission from these links at no cost to you. Affiliate disclosure

Overview

Editorial opinion

Best for: Very large MoE models in an x86 mini PC, for those willing to pay early-adopter prices.

Editorial opinionWould we buy it today?

Wait for prices to settle unless you need more than 128 GB in x86 today.

Pros and cons

Editorial opinion

Pros

  • Up to 192 GB of memory
  • Up to 160 GB usable by the GPU

Cons
