Can the Intel Gaudi 3 run Qwen2.5-3B?
Yes — here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.
Qwen2.5-3B on the Intel Gaudi 3
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | yes | 1680k | 347.2-431.1 t/s | ~3.8-4.7 (slow) |
| Q8 | yes | 1727k | 694.5-862.1 t/s | ~7.5-9.3 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 1748k | 1240.2-1539.5 t/s | ~13.4-16.6 (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.
FAQ
Can the Intel Gaudi 3 run Qwen2.5-3B?▶
Yes. At Q4 it generates ~1240.2-1539.5 tok/s and fits up to 1748k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~13.4-16.6 tok/s.
How much context fits?▶
At Q4, up to about 1748k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
