Can the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 run DistilBERT?
Yes โ here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.
DistilBERT on the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | yes | 1733k | 1221.8-1493.3 t/s | ~47.7-58.3 (slow) |
| Q8 | yes | 1734k | 2443.6-2986.7 t/s | ~95.5-116.7 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 1734k | 4363.6-5333.3 t/s | ~170.5-208.3 (slow) |
Estimate (memory-bound). Beyond "max context" the KV cache spills to SSD swap and speed drops to the "beyond" figure.
FAQ
Can the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 run DistilBERT?โถ
Yes. At Q4 it generates ~4363.6-5333.3 tok/s and fits up to 1734k context; beyond that it spills to SSD swap and slows to ~170.5-208.3 tok/s.
How much context fits?โถ
At Q4, up to about 1734k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to SSD swap and throughput collapses.
