Memory breakdown
See how fast it feels
What limits this setup
This model fits, but memory bandwidth is the part holding decode speed back.
Throughput will feel slow
Estimated decode speed is only 4.7 tok/s, so this is more of a technical fit than a comfortable daily-driver setup.
Best improvement path
Prioritize bandwidth, not only capacity
If this workload feels slow, the next useful step is often a GPU tier with materially faster memory bandwidth rather than only a small bump in capacity.
