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

Falcon-40B on the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 103k 2-2.5 t/s ~0.1-0.1 (slow)
Q8 yes 225k 4-4.9 t/s ~0.2-0.2 (slow)
Q4 yes 279k 7.2-8.8 t/s ~0.3-0.3 (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 Falcon-40B?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~7.2-8.8 tok/s and fits up to 279k context; beyond that it spills to SSD swap and slows to ~0.3-0.3 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 279k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to SSD swap and throughput collapses.
