Llama 3.2 3B on the AMD Instinct MI325X

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 3473k 588.8-719.6 t/s ~3.9-4.8 (slow)
Q8 yes 3522k 1177.6-1439.3 t/s ~7.9-9.6 (slow)
Q4 yes 3543k 2102.8-2570.1 t/s ~14-17.1 (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.

FAQ

Can the AMD Instinct MI325X run Llama 3.2 3B?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~2102.8-2570.1 tok/s and fits up to 3543k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~14-17.1 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 3543k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
