Can the AMD Instinct MI455X run Hermes 2 Theta Llama-3 70B?
Yes — here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.
Hermes 2 Theta Llama-3 70B on the AMD Instinct MI455X
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | yes | 781k | 88.2-107.8 t/s | ~0.2-0.2 (slow) |
| Q8 | yes | 995k | 176.4-215.6 t/s | ~0.4-0.4 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 1089k | 315-385 t/s | ~0.6-0.8 (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 Hermes 2 Theta Llama-3 70B?▶
Yes. At Q4 it generates ~315-385 tok/s and fits up to 1089k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~0.6-0.8 tok/s.
How much context fits?▶
