Can the Instinct MI440X run WizardCoder-15.5B?
Yes โ here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.
WizardCoder-15.5B on the Instinct MI440X
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | yes | 1392k | 398.3-486.8 t/s | ~0.8-1 (slow) |
| Q8 | yes | 1451k | 796.6-973.7 t/s | ~1.6-2 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 1477k | 1422.6-1738.7 t/s | ~2.9-3.5 (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.
