Can the Intel Gaudi 3 run FoundationStereo?
Yes — here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.
FoundationStereo on the Intel Gaudi 3
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | yes | 1764k | 3200.1-3972.6 t/s | ~34.6-42.9 (slow) |
| Q8 | yes | 1769k | 6400.2-7945.1 t/s | ~69.2-85.9 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 1771k | 11429-14187.7 t/s | ~123.6-153.4 (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.
FAQ
Can the Intel Gaudi 3 run FoundationStereo?▶
Yes. At Q4 it generates ~11429-14187.7 tok/s and fits up to 1771k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~123.6-153.4 tok/s.
How much context fits?▶
At Q4, up to about 1771k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
