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: Intel Core i5 13420H (No NPU)RAM: 8 GBGPU: Intel UHD Graphics Xe G4 (48 EU)
Small Models(1-3B):Examples: Phi-2, Qwen-1.8B
✔ Suitable
2B model with Q4 quantization (recommended): Requires ~2.5 GB memory - fits in your 8 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.
Large Models(13-30B):Examples: Llama 3 14B, Qwen1.5 14B, Dense 30B

Your system: 8 GB RAM. In practice, after the OS, iGPU, and background apps, only ~2 GB-3 GB is reliably available for models. With aggressive tuning and very few background apps, you might temporarily reach ~4 GB, but this is still not enough for 7-8B models in a stable way.

13-15B Models (e.g., Llama 3 14B, Qwen1.5 14B)
✖ Not Supported
14B with Q4 quantization (recommended): Requires ~10 GB memory - doesn't fit in your 8 GB RAM
14B Q3: ~8 GB - doesn't fit
Recommend 1-3B models or RAM upgrade.
16-24B Models (e.g., Dense 20B Q4 ~15.5GB)
✖ Not Supported
20B with Q4 quantization (recommended): Requires ~15.5 GB memory - doesn't fit in your 8 GB RAM
20B Q3: ~12.5 GB - doesn't fit
Recommend 1-3B models or RAM upgrade.
24-30B Models (e.g., Dense 30B Q4)
✖ Not Supported
30B with Q4 quantization (recommended): Requires ~21 GB memory - doesn't fit in your 8 GB RAM
30B Q3: ~17.5 GB - doesn't fit
Recommend 1-3B models or RAM upgrade.
MoE Models (Mixture-of-Experts) (e.g., Mixtral 8x7B - total ~47B, active ~12-13B)
✖ Not Supported
Mixtral 8x7B (≈47B total, ≈12–13B active) with Q4 quantization (recommended): Requires ~23 GB memory - doesn't fit in your 8 GB RAM
Mixtral 8x7B (≈47B total, ≈12–13B active) Q3: ~19.5 GB - doesn't fit
Recommend 1-3B models or RAM upgrade.

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

Extra-Large Models(65B+):Examples: LLaMA2-70B, Qwen1.5-72B
✖ Not practical on most laptops (64GB+ workstation laptops may be exceptions).

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 memory, so they run best on systems with ≥24 GB unified memory. 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. Note: iGPU laptops use shared (unified) memory with lower bandwidth, making them more sensitive to memory pressure and offloading.

🚀 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

💡 Since this system uses iGPU, it typically falls in the "Modest Speed" range; more comfortable with short-medium context, expect noticeable slowdown with long context.

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

Performance LevelTypical RangeUser Experience
Runs Smoothly
(High-end dGPU)
50+ tok/sReal-time response. Feels instant, like ChatGPT.
Runs Well
(Mid-range dGPU)
20-50 tok/sGood interactive performance. Slight delay, but usable.
Modest Speed
(iGPU/NPU/CPU)
5-20 tok/sUsable for tasks that don't need instant responses. Noticeable typing delay.
Borderline / Slow
(Limited hardware)
2-5 tok/sVery slow. Patience required. Better for batch processing.
Not Practical<2 tok/sToo 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 how much total memory is available for the model (unified RAM) and whether it needs to spill into slower storage. GPU type (memory bandwidth, compute power) can also affect actual performance. Currently, we prioritize whether the model fits in available unified memory for classification. We may refine this categorization in future updates based on more detailed benchmarks.

BATTERY

Lenovo ThinkBook 14 Gen 8's Li-Po battery has a capacity of 45 Wh is under average, which may cause lack of mobility. Please note that even though the battery capacity gives you an idea about potential battery life, it is not the only indicator of unplugged run time of the laptop, but impacted also by factors such as your laptop's configuration, screen brightness and number & types of apps that you are running simultaneously.
