Can the Instinct MI430X run Emu2?
Yes — here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.
Emu2 on the Instinct MI430X
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | yes | 1228k | 198.4-242.4 t/s | ~0.3-0.4 (slow) |
| Q8 | yes | 1369k | 396.7-484.9 t/s | ~0.7-0.8 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 1431k | 708.4-865.9 t/s | ~1.2-1.5 (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 Instinct MI430X run Emu2?▶
