Frequently Asked Questions
What is the fastest single board computer in Ollama LLM (DeepSeek R1 1.5B)?
The Radxa Fogwise Airbox Q900 36GB currently tops our Ollama LLM (DeepSeek R1 1.5B) ranking with 23.7 (Tokens/s), measured on real hardware with our standardised test setup.
What is a good Ollama LLM (DeepSeek R1 1.5B) score for an SBC?
Across the 66 boards we have tested, Ollama LLM (DeepSeek R1 1.5B) results range from 0.2 to 23.7 (Tokens/s), with a median of 5.61. Anything above the median puts a board in the faster half of the market.
About Ollama LLM SBC Benchmark Rankings testing
This ranking shows how fast each board runs a large language model locally with Ollama. We use the DeepSeek R1 distilled models and run each one three times through the ollama-benchmark script, reporting the average generation speed (eval rate) in tokens per second: how quickly the answer appears, not counting prompt processing. Ollama runs on the CPU on these boards, so RAM size decides which models we can run: every board with around 2GB or more gets the 1.5B model, 8GB boards add the 8B model, and 16GB boards add 14B. Each model has its own ranking; switch between them above. Tokens per watt divides that speed by the board's peak power draw during the run, measured with a USB power meter, and tokens per dollar divides it by the board's current price. Higher is better for all three.
