Qwen3.5 35B (3B active)

User reports about 40 tok/s on Qwen3.5 35B running CPU-only on a 16-core AMD Ryzen 9 9950X with 128GB of RAM. No GPU or serving engine is named for the run. The user is considering a Threadripper build but objects to ECC RAM pricing, citing $7,500 for 256GB of ECC RAM against $4k+ each for two 64-core 9980X CPUs, and compares a hypothetical $6,000 64-core system to a Mac Studio M5 Ultra with 256GB RAM at $10k.
