The benchmarking of the Qwen 3.6 35B A3B model on AMD Strix Halo reveals that speculative decoding, intended to enhance performance, can actually lead to a "Performance Trap" due to excessive loading of all parameters rather than active ones. This finding underscores the importance of optimizing for raw bandwidth efficiency over complex parallel processing techniques for achieving optimal inference speeds on consumer hardware.
