Assumptions

• Estimate from memory bandwidth, not a benchmark. Decode speed uses 55–75% of peak bandwidth.
• KV cache is FP16. Engine overhead assumes llama.cpp (0.3 GB + 1% of the weights). Ollama is closer to 0.9 GB + 3%, LM Studio closer to 1 GB + 3%.
• BF16 size is the real GGUF file size from Hugging Face.
• CPU runs keep about 4 GB plus a 10% cushion for the OS.
• Speed is quoted at 8K context, not at the maximum context that still fits.
