Estimate (memory-bound). Beyond "max context" the KV cache spills to SSD swap and speed drops to the "beyond" figure.

FAQ

Can the GMKtec EVO-X3 run Phi-3.5-MoE?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~4.9-5.9 tok/s and fits up to 243k context; beyond that it spills to SSD swap and slows to ~0.2-0.2 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 243k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to SSD swap and throughput collapses.
