This AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 mini PC has 128GB RAM, metal feet, and even a vegan leather handle — because why not?

A 126-TOPS, 128GB RAM mini PC marketed explicitly for LLMs is another data point that serious local inference is moving into prosumer and SMB budgets. If you're building AI-native apps, assume a chunk of your users will have edge hardware capable of running mid-size models offline within your current planning horizon.

Nvidia RTX 5090 GPUs are so expensive that Intel's Arc Pro B70 is now a genuine bargain for AI — 128GB 4-card configuration costs less than $3800

When a 4× Arc Pro B70 stack with 128GB comes in under $3,800 while a single RTX 5090 hovers around $4,000, the constraint for local AI shifts from raw performance to price/performance and availability. For teams doing on-prem or edge inference, it’s time to benchmark non-Nvidia options instead of assuming CUDA is the only viable path.
