a fanless-class mini desktop, CPU-only inference, 32 GB of memory and no discrete GPU — the machine of the two-hour battery test
It holds — Intel Core i5-12600H.
Narrow by model
The rail is CSS and nothing else — no script runs on this page. Two things it therefore cannot do, said rather than discovered: a chosen filter is not part of the address, so a narrowed view cannot be linked or bookmarked; and it cannot tell you when nothing matches, which is why the count rides on every control and why a band whose rows are all filtered out keeps its heading and empties.
Language — decode, prefill and first token
Sorted by model, then by power cap ascending — alphabetical and numeric, never by value. Every condition the page states is printed; a condition it does not state reads not stated, which is a third thing and not an uncapped card. The columns a narrow screen cannot hold are printed under the row rather than scrolled to.

Where it appears
Every released exhibit that names this identity, in the shelf’s own order. A count beside an exhibit is how many of its figures are carried above — and it links them, because a number with no way back to what it counts is the thing this shelf exists against.
- A Short History of Mistral — named, and no figure carried from it — yet
- The cost to purchase and run a very capable home AI rig — named, and no figure carried from it — yet
- The Two-Hour Machine, Priced — named, and no figure carried from it — yet
- Two Hours at 12 tok/s — 14 figures on this page
How this one is named here
The canonical name above is the full product name. Everything below is a spelling a published page or kit has actually used for it, kept so a reader who searches an older page’s words lands on this row. The set is closed and historical: no page cut after 2026-09-17 writes a memory class where it can write a card.
