AMD Versal AI Edge Series Gen 2 VEK385 vs Intel N150 Mini PC (GMKTek G3 Plus) (as tested by Jeff Geerling)

FPGA / Versal coverage note: 1,243 rows come from the AMD Vitis AI 3.0/3.5 Model Zoo tables; 733 (59%) are image classification. Detection, segmentation and other workloads are thinner, and there is no LLM or speech data for these boards. All are vendor-published (grade D). FPGA / Versal overview.
