A dense model reads every weight once per generated token, so tokens per second tops out near bandwidth divided by model size. Intel has not published the D270's bandwidth yet.
If you run models locally: which limit do you hit first, fitting or speed?
Local LLMs now run on everyday hardware. Niko1221/Strata: MIT-licensed C++ inference engine, one-click Windows/Linux install, OpenAI-compatible API on localhost.

Can a 125B model run on a 16GB GPU and still do real work?
I ran Qwen3.8-Flash-Next with Strata on an RTX 4060 Ti: ~60–70 tok/s, and it solved 2 of my 3 coding tasks. Catch: you need 64GB of RAM.
Sidekick is the kind of project that gets better the longer you run it.
