Can the Intel Gaudi 3 run Granite 3.1 2B?
Yes — here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.
Granite 3.1 2B on the Intel Gaudi 3
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | yes | 1698k | 429.2-532.8 t/s | ~4.6-5.8 (slow) |
| Q8 | yes | 1736k | 858.4-1065.6 t/s | ~9.3-11.5 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 1753k | 1532.9-1902.9 t/s | ~16.6-20.6 (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.
