Just started going down that route myself. For the money it performs well and runs most of the models at reasonable speeds.

1. Thermal considerations are important due to throttling for thermal protection. Apple seems best at this but $$$$. The Framework (AMD) seems a reasonable compromise (you can have almost 3 for 1 Mini). Laptops will likely not perform as well. NVIDIA seems really bad at thermal/power considerations.

2. Memory model matters and AMD's APU design is an improvement. NVIDIA GPUs where designed for graphics but where better than CPUs for AI so they got used. Bespoke AI solutions will eventually dominate. That may or may not be NVIDIA in the future.

My primary interest is AI at the edge.
