// RUN — FITS
Can the Instinct MI455X run xLAM-8x22B?
Yes — here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.
xLAM-8x22B on the Instinct MI455X
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | yes | 348k | 43.8-53.5 t/s | ~0.1-0.1 (slow) |
| Q8 | yes | 778k | 87.6-107 t/s | ~0.2-0.2 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 967k | 156.4-191.1 t/s | ~0.3-0.4 (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.
