Can the AMD Instinct MI455X run DBRX?

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

DBRX on the AMD Instinct MI455X

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 403k 46.8-57.2 t/s ~0.1-0.1 (slow)
Q8 yes 805k 93.5-114.3 t/s ~0.2-0.2 (slow)
Q4 yes 983k 167-204.2 t/s ~0.3-0.4 (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 MI455X run DBRX?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~167-204.2 tok/s and fits up to 983k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~0.3-0.4 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 983k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
