Can the Intel Gaudi 3 run Qwen1.5-72B?
Yes — here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.
Qwen1.5-72B on the Intel Gaudi 3
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | no | — | — | — |
| Q8 | yes | 135k | 29.8-37 t/s | ~0.3-0.4 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 232k | 53.2-66.1 t/s | ~0.6-0.7 (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 Qwen1.5-72B?▶
Yes. At Q4 it generates ~53.2-66.1 tok/s and fits up to 232k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~0.6-0.7 tok/s.
How much context fits?▶
At Q4, up to about 232k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
