No power draw measured – values estimated from GPU TDP + CPU (idle + 15 %) + board.

All values above and the charts below take the configured system utilization into account: at X% the system generates only X% of the time, the rest it idles (65 W). Cost per hour drops (more idle), cost per token rises.

Ich bin Unternehmer, Softwareentwickler und KI-Enthusiast. Seit vielen Jahren entwickle ich Unternehmenssoftware und beschäftige mich inzwischen fast täglich mit lokalen LLMs, KI-Agenten und leistungsfähiger KI-Hardware.

Mit LLM-Benchmark.de möchte ich eine Plattform schaffen, auf der Modelle, GPUs und Agenten objektiv und reproduzierbar miteinander verglichen werden.
