lol, it took me 48 hours to do (and re-do, and re-do) this test + write it up and now that I convinced myself to stop changing bits and just publish it... Google's just announced the Gemma 4 QAT models :-D

It would not change the core of my article since the bottleneck remains the memory bandwidth on the old M1 16GB though
