can it run

Can the CPU-only (DDR5 tuned / 4-channel) run gpt-oss 20B MoE?

FULL

14.2 GB needed of 30 GB usable — headroom for context

~30GB usable · CPU (DDR5) · model file 14GB · 20B MoE

~38–60 tok/s (active-expert estimate)

computed roofline: 179.2 GB/s × 0.45–0.70 efficiency window / 2.1GB (Q4_K_M) — bands, never points.

MoE: file is 14GB (that decides fit) but only ~3B of experts activate per token (~2.1GB streamed) — band below is the active-expert estimate, optimistic; community MoE rows run several× the naive bandwidth math
