Memory: Strix Halo (Radeon 8060S) has 64 GB. Qwen3.5 9B weights are about 5.5 GB at Q4_K_M (8.95B params × 4.89 bits ÷ 8, before context/KV cache). Arithmetic, not a measurement; long contexts need more. Check other quants in the VRAM calculator.
Speeds are decode (generation) tokens/sec as reported by each source; quant, engine and context differ, so small gaps are noise.
