For single stream inference of a MoE model, the size of active sparse parameters will matter a lot more than total parameters. This is generally around half of the reported active parameter count - the other half being a dense subset that can be easily cached in VRAM even on fairly modest consumer setups. So the achievable performance may be quite a bit better than a naïve assessment might suggest.
