LLM User Seeks CPU Advice: Intel vs. AMD for MoE Offloading

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A user is seeking advice on optimizing their local LLM setup, specifically regarding the performance differences between Intel and AMD CPUs for Mixture of Experts (MoE) offloading. They are considering upgrading their Framework 13 laptop and are weighing the potential benefits of AMD's AVX-512 instruction set against Intel's potentially higher memory bandwidth with LPCAMM2. The user is experiencing approximately 1000 PP/s prefill and 50-70 t/s decode with Qwen 3.6 35B-A3B on their current eGPU setup and wants to know if the CPU instruction set makes a practical difference.
