FP16 yes 6039k 73395-89705 t/s ~126-154 (slow)
Q8 yes 6040k 146790-179410 t/s ~252-308 (slow)
Q4 yes 6041k 262125-320375 t/s ~450-550 (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.

Can the Instinct MI430X run MSA Transformer?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~262125-320375 tok/s and fits up to 6041k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~450-550 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 6041k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
