Can the Instinct MI455X run Minitron 8B?
Yes — here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.
Minitron 8B on the Instinct MI455X
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | yes | 2894k | 743.9-909.2 t/s | ~1.5-1.9 (slow) |
| Q8 | yes | 2957k | 1487.7-1818.3 t/s | ~3-3.7 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 2985k | 2656.6-3247 t/s | ~5.4-6.6 (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.
