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 9 7945HX (No NPU)RAM: 32 GBGPU: GeForce RTX 4080 Laptop 12GB
Small Models(1-3B):Examples: Phi-2, Qwen-1.8B
✔ Expected performance: "Runs Smoothly"
2B model with Q4 quantization (recommended): Requires ~2.5 GB memory - fits in your 12 GB VRAM
(See performance table below for details)
Medium Models(7-8B):Examples: Mistral-7B, Qwen-7B
✔ Expected performance: "Runs Smoothly"
7B model with Q4 quantization (recommended): Requires ~5.3 GB memory - fits in your 12 GB VRAM
(See performance table below for details)
Large Models(13-30B):Examples: Llama 3 14B, Qwen1.5 14B, Dense 30B

Your system: 12 GB VRAM, ~10.5 GB available for models, 1.5 GB reserved for GPU overhead

13-15B Models (e.g., Llama 3 14B, Qwen1.5 14B)
✔ Expected performance: "Runs Smoothly"
14B with Q4 quantization (recommended): Requires ~10 GB memory - fits in your 12 GB VRAM
16-24B Models (e.g., Dense 20B Q4 ~15.5GB)
⚠ Expected performance: "Modest Speed"
20B with Q4 quantization (recommended): Requires ~15.5 GB memory - doesn't fit in 12 GB VRAM, spills to RAM (VRAM + RAM, slower)
Breakdown: 12 GB VRAM - 1.5 GB (GPU overhead) = ~10.5 GB available, but model needs ~15.5 GB
(Partial GPU offload - expect 5-30x or more slower performance (depends on spill amount))
Recommend 13-15B (e.g., 14B) models for smooth performance, or GPU with more VRAM.
24-30B Models (e.g., Dense 30B Q4)
⚠ Expected performance: "Borderline / Slow"
30B with Q4 quantization (recommended): Requires ~21 GB memory - doesn't fit in 12 GB VRAM, spills to RAM (VRAM + RAM, slower)
Breakdown: 12 GB VRAM - 1.5 GB (GPU overhead) = ~10.5 GB available, but model needs ~21 GB
(Partial GPU offload - expect 5-30x or more slower performance (depends on spill amount))
Recommend 13-15B (e.g., 14B) models for smooth performance, or GPU with more VRAM.
MoE Models (Mixture-of-Experts) (e.g., Mixtral 8x7B - total ~47B, active ~12-13B)
⚠ Expected performance: "Borderline / Slow"
Mixtral 8x7B (≈47B total, ≈12–13B active) with Q4 quantization (recommended): Requires ~23 GB memory - doesn't fit in 12 GB VRAM, spills to RAM (VRAM + RAM, slower)
Breakdown: 12 GB VRAM - 1.5 GB (GPU overhead) = ~10.5 GB available, but model needs ~23 GB
(Partial GPU offload - expect 5-30x or more slower performance (depends on spill amount))
Recommend 13-15B (e.g., 14B) models for smooth performance, or GPU with more VRAM.
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 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 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 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.

BATTERY
