RoBERTa Large on the Instinct MI440X
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | yes | 6031k | 17391.5-21256.3 t/s | ~35.5-43.4 (slow) |
| Q8 | yes | 6036k | 34783.1-42512.7 t/s | ~71-86.8 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 6039k | 62112.7-75915.5 t/s | ~126.8-154.9 (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.
