Can the GMKtec EVO-X3 run Minitron 4B?
Yes — here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.
Minitron 4B on the GMKtec EVO-X3
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | yes | 1607k | 19.8-24.1 t/s | ~0.8-0.9 (slow) |
| Q8 | yes | 1671k | 39.6-48.2 t/s | ~1.5-1.9 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 1699k | 70.7-86 t/s | ~2.8-3.4 (slow) |
Estimate (memory-bound). Beyond "max context" the KV cache spills to SSD swap and speed drops to the "beyond" figure.
