Memory ladder

Ranked by memory unless you sort by speed or price, because memory decides what fits. Bars are to scale within each list: solid for dedicated VRAM, hatched for unified memory shared with the CPU. The speed column is the estimated decode rate for the model and quant you pick, for one user with 8K of context.
