Q8 yes 156k 46.7-57.1 t/s ~0.1-0.1 (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 Grok-1?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~83.5-102 tok/s and fits up to 420k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~0.1-0.2 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 420k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
