Can the Intel Gaudi 3 run Qwen2.5-72B?
Yes — here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.
Qwen2.5-72B on the Intel Gaudi 3
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | no | — | — | — |
| Q8 | yes | 133k | 29.5-36.6 t/s | ~0.3-0.4 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 231k | 52.7-65.4 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 Qwen2.5-72B?▶
Yes. At Q4 it generates ~52.7-65.4 tok/s and fits up to 231k 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 231k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
