It's a tough call. The shop has customers with both, although significantly more own the K8 Plus. Personally, the PN54-S1 comes out on top. The Team Group RAM alone is a solid upgrade. The T-Create Classic uses higher quality SK Hynix SDRAM chips compared to the cheaper/lower quality Micron used in

I have been running the Qwen3-30B-A3B-Instruct-2507-GGUF model on GAIA, AMD's open-source platform for generative AI, from my ASUS PN54 mini PC with an AMD Ryzen AI 7 350. The combined power of the 50 TOPS NPU and the iGPU is impressive for handling a model of this size, and it also works correctly
