SummaryA llama.cpp pull request makes Q2_0 quantization 3.0–3.6x faster on x86 CPUs, with benchmarks showing 8B model decode throughput rising from 2.39 to 8.20 tokens per second.
Why it mattersUpstream optimization with measured before/after decode throughput on x86. Directly relevant for running local quantized models on CPU without a discrete GPU.
