Can the Instinct MI440X run SantaCoder?

Yes โ€” here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.

FP16 yes 6008k 5612.7-6860 t/s ~11.5-14 (slow)
Q8 yes 6025k 11225.5-13720 t/s ~22.9-28 (slow)
Q4 yes 6032k 20045.5-24500 t/s ~40.9-50 (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.

FAQ

Can the Instinct MI440X run SantaCoder?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~20045.5-24500 tok/s and fits up to 6032k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~40.9-50 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 6032k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
