Affiliate disclosure
Honest version up front: we participate in the Amazon Associates Programme, and we route you to your regional Amazon store (amazon.nl, amazon.de, …) with our affiliate tag. When you click an Amazon "Buy" link and make a purchase, we earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. Links to non-Amazon retailers are clean and untagged unless we've been approved for that retailer's own program.
As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases.
What that means today
- Amazon "Buy" links carry our Amazon Associates tag and point to your local Amazon store (amazon.de, amazon.co.jp, …) for your region.
- We earn a small commission on qualifying Amazon purchases — your price is identical whether you use our link or go to Amazon directly.
- Other retailer links (B&H, Newegg, Apple, Adorama, and local vendors) stay clean and untagged unless we've joined that specific program.
Programs we may add later
We may join additional retailer affiliate programs over time. When we do, outbound "Buy" links to those retailers will start carrying our tag — again at no extra cost to you — and this page will be updated to reflect it.
How we pick what to list
Every build on the site has to pass three checks before it can appear:
- You can actually buy it from a major retailer or vendor in 2026 (no vapor-ware, no scalper-only SKUs).
- There is at least one independent benchmark of single-stream tokens-per-second (or seconds-per-image, or seconds-per-clip) on a common open-weights model.
- The price we display is from a real listing on the day data was last refreshed (date is in the footer of the home page).
Commission is not on that list, and never will be. Builds with no affiliate revenue (e.g. Framework, tinygrad Tinybox, NVIDIA / AMD direct) are listed and ranked exactly the same as builds where we earn commission. We never recommend hardware we wouldn't run ourselves.
SEO disclosure
Every affiliate link on this site carries the rel="sponsored nofollow" attribute, in line with Google's guidance for paid or compensated links. That means outbound clicks don't pass SEO authority to the retailer — they only send users.
