Can the Intel Gaudi 3 run Persimmon-8B?
Yes — here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.
Persimmon-8B on the Intel Gaudi 3
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | yes | 745k | 115.4-143.2 t/s | ~1.2-1.5 (slow) |
| Q8 | yes | 816k | 230.8-286.5 t/s | ~2.5-3.1 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 847k | 412.1-511.5 t/s | ~4.5-5.5 (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 Persimmon-8B?▶
Yes. At Q4 it generates ~412.1-511.5 tok/s and fits up to 847k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~4.5-5.5 tok/s.
How much context fits?▶
At Q4, up to about 847k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
