Tri-21B on the Instinct MI440X

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 1352k 297.8-364 t/s ~0.6-0.7 (slow)
Q8 yes 1431k 595.7-728 t/s ~1.2-1.5 (slow)
Q4 yes 1466k 1063.7-1300 t/s ~2.2-2.7 (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.
