Phi-3.5-MoE on the Instinct MI430X

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 837k 120.7-147.5 t/s ~0.2-0.3 (slow)
Q8 yes 1023k 241.4-295.1 t/s ~0.4-0.5 (slow)
Q4 yes 1104k 431.1-526.9 t/s ~0.7-0.9 (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.
