Can the AMD Instinct MI455X run RoBERTa Base?

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

RoBERTa Base on the AMD Instinct MI455X

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 6038k 49392-60368 t/s ~100.8-123.2 (slow)
Q8 yes 6040k 98784-120736 t/s ~201.6-246.4 (slow)
Q4 yes 6040k 176400-215600 t/s ~360-440 (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 RoBERTa Base?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~176400-215600 tok/s and fits up to 6040k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~360-440 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 6040k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
