Qwen2-0.5B on the AMD Instinct MI300X 192GB

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 2657k 3339-4081 t/s ~25.2-30.8 (slow)
Q8 yes 2665k 6678-8162 t/s ~50.4-61.6 (slow)
Q4 yes 2668k 11925-14575 t/s ~90-110 (slow)

Estimate (memory-bound). Beyond "max context" the KV cache spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and speed drops to the "beyond" figure.
