QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 1697k 424.1-526.5 t/s ~4.6-5.7 (slow)
Q8 yes 1735k 848.2-1053 t/s ~9.2-11.4 (slow)
Q4 yes 1752k 1514.7-1880.3 t/s ~16.4-20.3 (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 Granite 3.2 2B?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~1514.7-1880.3 tok/s and fits up to 1752k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~16.4-20.3 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 1752k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
