Yes — here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.
gte-modernbert on the Intel Gaudi 3
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | yes | 1769k | 7201.3-8939.6 t/s | ~77.9-96.6 (slow) |
| Q8 | yes | 1772k | 14402.7-17879.2 t/s | ~155.7-193.3 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 1773k | 25719.1-31927.1 t/s | ~278-345.2 (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.
