Can the Instinct MI440X run BLOOM-7.1B?
Yes — here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.
BLOOM-7.1B on the Instinct MI440X
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | yes | 2913k | 873.3-1067.3 t/s | ~1.8-2.2 (slow) |
| Q8 | yes | 2967k | 1746.5-2134.7 t/s | ~3.6-4.4 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 2991k | 3118.8-3811.9 t/s | ~6.4-7.8 (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.
