A 3090 has 936 GB/s of bandwidth vs 432 GB/s on the 70W RTX PRO 4000 SFF, so 70 t/s there is not surprising. The interesting constraint here was fitting a workload-tuned 5.01 BPW quant + 256K + MTP into 24 GB while working with less than half the memory bandwidth
Its not quite that simple here. The iMatrix-guided hybrid uses different quantization levels per tensor/layer, so there isnt one honest Q4/Q5/NVFP4 label I can put in the title
5.01 BPW custom hybrid: bulk NVFP4, selected Q5_K/Q6_K tensors from an iMatrix, Q6_K embeddings and Q8_0 lm_head. The iMatrix was built from 5,472 messages across 296 real Hermes sessions
vLLM is probably the key difference there… its scheduler is built around batching/concurrency, while this setup is heavily optimized llama.cpp for single-stream latency
