Can Laptop · Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 (Radeon 890M) · 32 GB run MiniCPM5 2B?

32 GB unified · 120 GB/s memory bandwidth · MiniCPM5 2B has 2.5B parameters.

Short answer

Yes, excellent for chat and acceptable or better for every workload we test.

Best quantization for chat: Q8_0 (2.5 GB of weights) on Lemonade. Generation: 20–35 tok/s, leaving about 20 GB free for your other apps.

How it rates for each workload
