Memory: Strix Halo (Radeon 8060S) has 128 GB. Qwen3.6 35B-A3B weights are about 21.7 GB at Q4_K_M (35.51B 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.
