Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
8) No Bots.
Posts or comments from bots, LLM's, AIs, Neural Networks, Transformers, or Marvin the Paranoid Android are not welcome in AskLemmy. Real humans only please.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

I use it when my main system, a Mini-PC (Ryzen 7640U), doesn't suffice (complex CAD models, modern 3D games) and as it is a system with 64GB unified memory (crazy amount in this day and age) I also experimented with local GPU run LLMs, for example Gemma 4. I honestly don't use LLMs that often in general but when I do, it is nice to have the option of actually having one that is really private.
Sounds cool, I never got the chance to build in the before times. Seems odd to have a custom sff and mini pc. I am out of my depth though, maybe that is as powerful as a bulky pc.
Indeed. It is a replacement for my previous "bulky PC", with some capabilities that go far beyond that system but in terms of graphics it is pretty close to it. So it can play even current demanding games, on moderate resolutions, if you aren't an fps fanatic. It is about 3-4 times more powerful than the iGPU on my Mini-PC. Due to the big unified memory it can handle locally some LLMs that even high end cards like a 5090 can't handle but at a moderate speed only.
The CPU side is actually pretty powerful, so it is a pretty strong productivity system, helped by the large unified memory as well.
