Can the Instinct MI430X run Minitron 8B?
Yes — here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.
Minitron 8B on the Instinct MI430X
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | yes | 2894k | 884.3-1080.8 t/s | ~1.5-1.9 (slow) |
| Q8 | yes | 2957k | 1768.6-2161.6 t/s | ~3-3.7 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 2985k | 3158.1-3859.9 t/s | ~5.4-6.6 (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.
