Overview

The UM790 Pro pushes the upper bound of the Linux mini PC tier. Its Ryzen 7040-series chip belongs to the Ryzen 7000 family, which writes 19.91 tokens per second with a 7B model at Q4_0 on llama.cpp's Vulkan scoreboard (the scoreboard names the family, not the exact chip). The 64 GB DDR5 ceiling leaves room for larger quantised models, at lower speeds. At €800, it's not the cheap option; it is the most capable x86 mini PC in this list.

Best for

  • High-end Linux mini PC deployments
  • Local LLM at 13B Q4 (Radeon 780M helps)
  • Multi-tool agent workloads with browser automation

Not for

  • Cost-optimised setups (cheaper options exist)
  • Apple Silicon-equivalent unified-memory workloads
