How it’s rated

Quality 50Fair quality (C) · 50 of 100: how capable the model is at Q2_K, whatever it runs on. Match score 67/100 (quality, fit, speed and memory use) sets the ranking.
How capable the model itself is at Q2_K, from its editorial quality tier scaled by the quantization or precision. It’s the same on any hardware that runs this variant. Scale: A+ 85+ · A 70+ · B 55+ · C 40+ · D under 40.
Runs Runs well
How well it runs on the Intel Core Ultra 200H (Arc 140T) (32 GB): speed, capped by how well it fits in memory. Runs great: 30+ tokens/s (or near the image, video or decision speed target) · Runs well: 10+ tokens/s · Slow: 3+ tokens/s · Very slow: under 3 · Won’t run: doesn’t fit even with offload. A tight fit or RAM offload caps it at Runs well; heavy offload caps it at Slow.

Match score

To order lists, each result also gets a match score out of 100 from four parts. It favors the most capable model that still runs well.

Quick answers

How much memory does Phi-4 Reasoning Plus (14B) need on the Intel Core Ultra 200H (Arc 140T) 32GB?

At Q2_K it needs about 9.6 GB. The Intel Core Ultra 200H (Arc 140T) 32GB has 18.2 GB usable.

How fast is Phi-4 Reasoning Plus (14B) on the Intel Core Ultra 200H (Arc 140T) 32GB?

About 10.8 tok/s at Q2_K, an estimate from the hardware’s memory bandwidth and the size of the model.

Which quantization of Phi-4 Reasoning Plus (14B) should I use on the Intel Core Ultra 200H (Arc 140T) 32GB?

Q2_K. Of the versions that fit, it is the one that runs best; when two run equally well, the check prefers the higher-rated one.

Estimates come from published hardware specs and our open formulas, not from running the model on your machine. Real speed varies with runtime, drivers and settings. Numbers marked “Measured” come from a linked benchmark.
