Can the AMD Instinct MI455X run Qwen2-0.5B?
Yes — here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.
Qwen2-0.5B on the AMD Instinct MI455X
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | yes | 6026k | 12348-15092 t/s | ~25.2-30.8 (slow) |
| Q8 | yes | 6034k | 24696-30184 t/s | ~50.4-61.6 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 6037k | 44100-53900 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.
FAQ
