Llama 3.2 1B on the AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 164k 164.9-201.6 t/s ~10.2-12.5 (slow)
Q8 yes 183k 329.9-403.2 t/s ~20.5-25 (slow)
Q4 yes 191k 589-719.9 t/s ~36.6-44.7 (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.
