Spec Comparison
Performance Verdicts
Winner for LLM Inference
tieBoth have 0 GB memory, so bandwidth decides. GPU Anti-Sag Bracket with Magnet & Non-Slip Base (74–120mm)'s 0 GB/s vs 0 GB/s translates directly to more tokens per second at equivalent model sizes.
Winner for Stable Diffusion / Image Generation
tieNeither is optimised for image generation, but GPU Anti-Sag Bracket with Magnet & Non-Slip Base (74–120mm)'s 0 GB/s bandwidth makes generation faster. Both run SDXL via Metal (macOS) or ROCm (Linux). Expect slower generation times than a discrete GPU.
Winner for Power Efficiency
Base (74–120mm) winsGPU Anti-Sag Bracket with Magnet & Non-Slip Base (74–120mm) draws 999W at peak vs 1000W — a 1W difference. Running AI workloads 12 hours/day, that's roughly 4 kWh saved per year. For always-on inference, GPU Anti-Sag Bracket with Magnet & Non-Slip Base (74–120mm) has meaningfully lower operating costs.
Overall Winner
tieBoth products are closely matched. Your choice should come down to price, ecosystem preference, and the specific models you plan to run.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1Which runs Ollama faster — be quiet! Pure Power 13 M 1000W ATX 3.1 PSU or GPU Anti-Sag Bracket with Magnet & Non-Slip Base (74–120mm)?
be quiet! Pure Power 13 M 1000W ATX 3.1 PSU runs Ollama faster. Its 0 GB/s memory bandwidth vs 0 GB/s means faster token generation — roughly — more tokens/second on the same model. On Llama 3.1 8B, expect around 0 tok/s vs 0 tok/s.
Q2Can either mini PC run Llama 3 70B?
Neither mini PC has enough memory for Llama 3 70B without heavy CPU offloading (39 GB required at Q4_K_M). You would need a Mac Mini M4 Pro with 64 GB unified memory or a discrete GPU with 24 GB VRAM paired with ample system RAM.
Q3Which is better value for local AI in 2026?
be quiet! Pure Power 13 M 1000W ATX 3.1 PSU offers better performance-per-dollar for AI workloads due to its 0 GB/s bandwidth advantage. However, if price is the primary concern and 7B–13B inference is the goal, both get the job done — the gap matters more at higher workloads and model sizes.
Q4Which has better software support for local AI?
Both run Ollama well. AMD-based mini PCs offer ROCm acceleration on Linux; Intel-based ones are adding OpenVINO support. macOS Apple Silicon has the most polished Ollama experience.
