Qwen 3.5, Gemma 4 benchmarks hit 79 tok/s
A comparative benchmark of Qwen 3.5 and Gemma 4 on dual RTX 4070/3060 setups reveals massive performance gains for consumer hardware. Sparse MoE models like Qwen 3.5 reach near-instant generation speeds, while Gemma 4 prioritizes reasoning depth at the cost of context capacity.
Qwen 3.5 35B-A3B hits 79 tokens/s on consumer hardware, outperforming previous dense architectures by 40% in sustained throughput. A secondary RTX 3060 yields a 1.5x prompt processing boost, while Gemma 4 31B offers superior reasoning but hits VRAM limits at 15k context compared to Qwen's 50k+. Inference engines like LM Studio now provide day-0 optimizations for these hybrid architectures, though uneven VRAM utilization remains a minor friction point.
