Can the Rockchip RK3588 / RK3588S (16 GB) run WizardLM 13B v1.2?

18Basic quality (D) · 18 of 100: how capable the model is at Q3_K_M, whatever it runs on. Match score 52/100 (quality, fit, speed and memory use) sets the ranking.

Yes, but slowly

Slow. At Q3_K_M it needs about 11.4 GB of 13.6 GB usable, with an estimated speed of 3.4 tok/s.

How it’s rated

Quality 18Basic quality (D) · 18 of 100: how capable the model is at Q3_K_M, whatever it runs on. Match score 52/100 (quality, fit, speed and memory use) sets the ranking.
How capable the model itself is at Q3_K_M, 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 Slow
How well it runs on the Rockchip RK3588 / RK3588S (16 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 WizardLM 13B v1.2 need on the Rockchip RK3588 / RK3588S 16GB?

At Q3_K_M it needs about 11.4 GB. The Rockchip RK3588 / RK3588S 16GB has 13.6 GB usable.

How fast is WizardLM 13B v1.2 on the Rockchip RK3588 / RK3588S 16GB?

About 3.4 tok/s at Q3_K_M, an estimate from the hardware’s memory bandwidth and the size of the model.

Which quantization of WizardLM 13B v1.2 should I use on the Rockchip RK3588 / RK3588S 16GB?

Q3_K_M. 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.
