Figures assume the 32 GB unified memory pool shared between CPU and GPU. "What runs on it" is judged at a 8,192-token context. Speeds are estimates, not measurements.

"Est. speed" is a modelled range labelled estimate (D8) for generation (decode) throughput. "Community" shows the median of approved user-submitted reports on this GPU class only where enough exist — never an estimate. "pp" is measured prompt-processing (ingestion) throughput from approved community reports; rows without a measurement show none.
On this GPU, 12 catalog models run fully on the GPU at an 8,192-token context. The most capable is Qwen3.6-35B-A3B at IQ4_XS (needs ~19.3 GiB). Pick a smaller model or a lower quant for more headroom.
