LOCAL LLM Compatibility Evaluation

This quick guide shows what types of large language models (LLMs) this laptop could support, based on its hardware specifications. It's meant to help you decide whether it's suitable for running AI models locally.

Selected Configuration:
CPU/NPU: AMD Ryzen 5 230RAM: 8 GBGPU: Radeon 760M

Available for LLM: ~3.5 GB RAM (3 GB OS overhead, 2 GB reserved for graphics), up to ~3.5 GB (max)

Available for LLM: 3.5 GB / Total: 8 GB

Small Models(1-3B):Examples: Phi-2, Qwen-1.8B

✔ Modest Speed
2B model with Q4 quantization (recommended):
Requires ~2 GB memory - fits in your 3.5 GB RAM
Suitable, but iGPU typically falls in "Modest Speed" category.
(See performance table below for details)

Medium Models(7-8B):Examples: Mistral-7B, Qwen-7B

✖ Not Supported
7-8B model with Q4 quantization (recommended):
Requires ~5 GB memory - exceeds available RAM (not supported)
This config supports Small (1-3B) models. For 7-8B or larger, consider more RAM or a dedicated GPU.
(See performance table below for details)

Large Models(13-30B):Examples: Llama 3 14B, Qwen1.5 14B, Dense 30B

13-15B Models (e.g., Llama 3 14B, Qwen1.5 14B)

✖ Not Supported

13-15B model with Q4 (recommended):
Requires ~9 GB memory - exceeds available RAM (not supported)
This config supports Small (1-3B) models. For 7-8B or larger, consider more RAM or a dedicated GPU.
(See performance table below for details)

16-24B Models (e.g., Dense 20B Q4 ~15.5GB)

✖ Not Supported

16-24B model with Q4 (recommended):
Requires ~14 GB memory - exceeds available RAM (not supported)
This config supports Small (1-3B) models. For 7-8B or larger, consider more RAM or a dedicated GPU.
(See performance table below for details)

24-30B Models (e.g., Dense 30B Q4)

✖ Not Supported

24-30B model with Q4 (recommended):
Requires ~18 GB memory - exceeds available RAM (not supported)
This config supports Small (1-3B) models. For 7-8B or larger, consider more RAM or a dedicated GPU.
(See performance table below for details)

MoE Models (Mixture-of-Experts) (e.g., Mixtral 8x7B - total ~47B, active ~12-13B)

✖ Not Supported

MoE model with Q4 (recommended):
Requires ~24 GB memory - exceeds available RAM (not supported)
This config supports Small (1-3B) models. For 7-8B or larger, consider more RAM or a dedicated GPU.
(See performance table below for details)

Extra-Large Models(65B+):Examples: LLaMA2-70B, Qwen1.5-72B

✖ Not Supported
70B model with Q4 (recommended):
Requires ~42 GB memory - exceeds available RAM (not supported)
This config supports Small (1-3B) models. For 7-8B or larger, consider more RAM or a dedicated GPU.
(See performance table below for details)

💡 Note: iGPU uses system RAM directly (unified memory). Expect "Modest Speed" performance (see table below).

Note: Optimized (e.g., 4-bit) models may run on limited hardware. Performance depends on runtime and setup.

📌 Model Types: Dense 30B Q4 models typically require around 19–22 GB of total VRAM, so they run best on systems with ≥24 GB VRAM. MoE models like Mixtral 8x7B (≈47B total parameters, usually ≈23–26 GB in 4-bit) also need high memory because all experts must be loaded, even though only a few are active per token. They reduce compute cost per token (similar to a ~12–13B dense model), but not memory usage, so they are not practical on 14–16 GB systems.

🚀 Modern NPU (Neural Processing Unit): Modern processors like AMD Ryzen AI and Intel Core Ultra feature NPU and unified memory architecture. NPUs provide modest performance gains (0-30% faster) with better power efficiency compared to iGPU-only execution. Real-world tests show ~3-10 tok/s range on 13B models with 32GB RAM (varies by runtime, quantization, and context), comparable to iGPU but more power-efficient. Note: These figures are examples from various NPU systems; actual performance depends on your specific hardware configuration.

Understanding Performance Categories

The performance descriptions use general categories because actual speed varies greatly based on your specific hardware, model optimization, context length, and runtime software.

Performance Level	Typical Range	User Experience
Runs Smoothly (High-end dGPU)	50+ tok/s	Real-time response. Feels instant, like ChatGPT.
Runs Well (Mid-range dGPU)	20-50 tok/s	Good interactive performance. Slight delay, but usable.
Modest Speed (iGPU/NPU/CPU)	5-20 tok/s	Usable for tasks that don't need instant responses. Noticeable typing delay.
Borderline / Slow (Limited hardware)	2-5 tok/s	Slow-Very slow. Patience required. Better for batch processing.
Not Practical	<2 tok/s	Too slow for regular use. May cause system hangs or instability.

💡 Tip: Your actual results may be higher or lower than these ranges. Test with your specific hardware to know for sure!

⚠️ Note: Performance categorization is based on VRAM capacity and RAM fallback status. GPU type (memory bandwidth, compute power) can also affect actual performance. Currently, we prioritize whether the model fits in VRAM or requires RAM fallback for classification. We may refine this categorization in future updates based on more detailed benchmarks.
