can it run

Can the CPU-only (DDR3 dual-channel) run qwen3 0.6B?

FULL

1.0 GB needed of 6 GB usable — headroom for context

~6GB usable · CPU (DDR3) · model file 0.6GB · 0.6B

~19–30 tok/s

computed roofline: 25.6 GB/s × 0.45–0.70 efficiency window / 0.6GB (Q4_K_M) — bands, never points. Small models (under ~4.5B) run BELOW these bands — kernel-launch overhead keeps them from saturating bandwidth (measured against community medians, 09-06).
