Q: How fast is qwen3 235B-A22B MoE on the Radeon Vega 3 (iGPU)?

~0.72–2.3 tok/s (active-expert estimate) on the Radeon Vega 3 (iGPU). computed roofline: 38.4 GB/s × 0.25–0.80 efficiency window / 13.3GB (Q4_K_M) — bands, never points. MoE: file is 142GB (that decides fit) but only ~22B of experts activate per token (~13.3GB streamed) — band below is the active-expert estimate, optimistic; community MoE rows run several× the naive bandwidth math
