Can the AMD Instinct MI325X run Llama 3.2 11B?

Yes โ€” here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.

Llama 3.2 11B on the AMD Instinct MI325X

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 1299k 178.3-217.9 t/s ~1.2-1.5 (slow)
Q8 yes 1364k 356.6-435.8 t/s ~2.4-2.9 (slow)
Q4 yes 1392k 636.8-778.3 t/s ~4.2-5.2 (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.

Can the AMD Instinct MI325X run Llama 3.2 11B?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~636.8-778.3 tok/s and fits up to 1392k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~4.2-5.2 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 1392k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
