Velvet 25B on the Instinct MI440X
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | yes | 1320k | 247-301.8 t/s | ~0.5-0.6 (slow) |
| Q8 | yes | 1415k | 493.9-603.7 t/s | ~1-1.2 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 1457k | 882-1078 t/s | ~1.8-2.2 (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.
