The world’s fastest mini PC is only on sale at Amazon — tiny Optiplex 7010 sports a Core i9-14900K that’s faster than a 16-core Threadripper Pro
You probably wouldn’t think of the Dell Optiplex 7010 mini PC as a powerful computer, and yet the Core i9-14900K processor that it packs transforms it into the fastest mini PC on the market right now. Surprisingly, it is only available at Amazon for Prime Day for $2,199 – you won’t be able to purchase it direct from Dell.

This business PC is absolutely tiny but jam packed with connectivity options and high performance parts. The CPU is a 24-core beast that is quicker than AMD’s 16-core Threadripper Pro 7955WX on the popular Passmark benchmark. It comes with 64GB DDR5 RAM and 4TB SSD as well as six USB ports, one HDMI, one DisplayPort and an Ethernet connector, all crammed in a volume of just over 1L (40 fl oz or two pints).
As expected, it comes with Windows 11 Pro, Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth. All in all, this is a great full size desktop replacement PC for anyone looking for sheer performance for workloads such as AI, machine learning, programming etc.
Connect a portable monitor (loads available in our Prime Day portable monitor hub) and a portable power station (quite a few on sale, see our Prime Day portable power station page) and you could get a decent desktop replacement package.
