-2026-10-18, checking the actual RAM usage of the models...
 
 Main laptop has about 60GB of headroom, prefer only using 55GB to be safe.
 Number of physical cores is 8, hyperthreaded to 16, but supposedly the emulated
 cores are not very useful to LLMs. Try only using between 6 and 8 when possible.
 Research says it is not worth enabling the iGPU for Intel XE, CPUs are better.
 
+## Tokens per CPU Count
+
+Verifying that 8 or less cores gives better performance (less memory issues).
