Security Done Right, Want to Know How Fast Your Hardware Can Run DeepSeek?

After discussing defense strategies against model distillation, Winzheng Research Lab releases the "2026 Q1 YZ Index: DeepSeek Best Hardware Performance Tier List" - a comprehensive benchmark testing everything from H100s to 7-year-old smartphones running the 671B parameter model.

Earlier, we talked about defense—"Deep Analysis: Building an Iron Wall Against Model Distillation" sparked widespread discussion in the industry.

But on the AI battlefield, a strong shield alone isn't enough—you also need a sharp spear.

For every developer or business owner attempting to privately deploy DeepSeek, the next pressing question is: Can my equipment actually run this 671 billion parameter behemoth?

Do I have to shell out big money for an H100?

Or is an RTX 4090 enough to take off?

Or even... if you only have a $50 used Xiaomi phone, is there still a chance?

Winzheng Research Lab doesn't do cloud speculation—we only do hardcore testing. We've just released the "2026 Q1 YZ Index: DeepSeek Best Hardware Performance Tier List".

In this report, we put data center GPUs, consumer flagships, MacBooks, and 7-year-old phones in the same arena. The results are shocking—some devices are "Ferraris," some are "oxcarts," and some devices (like certain domestic old phones) ran miraculously despite getting hot enough to serve as hand warmers.

Don't blindly order graphics cards. Read this report first—you might save half your money.
