Intel Hybrid CPU users can triple LLM decode speed with Strata calibration

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A Reddit user on the r/LocalLLaMA subreddit shared a "PSA" recommending that users with Intel hybrid CPUs run Strata's calibration tool. This calibration reportedly nearly tripled their local LLM decode speed, improving performance from 17.2 tokens/s to over 53 tokens/s. The user detailed specific configuration changes, including adjusting worker pools, speculative decoding settings, and PCIe fraction, which contributed to the significant speed increase. AI
