Intel Atom C3758 (2.2 GHz). CPU-only inference on an Intel Atom C3000 (Denverton) with no integrated or discrete GPU. Ollama installs from the TrueNAS Apps catalog, but only small quantized models are practical and token rates will be low; no published benchmark was found.
It can, with limits: expect small models only, at modest speed.
Models run on its CPU cores, and this configuration leaves about 54.4 GB for them after the NAS system and its storage services. The grades below assume the NAS isn’t busy with backups or media work at the same time.
More memory is the upgrade that matters most: see the configurations.

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.
