Can the Instinct MI440X run Yi-1.5-34B?
Yes — here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.
Yi-1.5-34B on the Instinct MI440X
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | yes | 1251k | 181.6-221.9 t/s | ~0.4-0.5 (slow) |
| Q8 | yes | 1381k | 363.2-443.9 t/s | ~0.7-0.9 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 1438k | 648.5-792.6 t/s | ~1.3-1.6 (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.
