Can the Intel Gaudi 3 run Qwen2.5-7B?
Yes — here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.
Qwen2.5-7B on the Intel Gaudi 3
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | yes | 771k | 141-175 t/s | ~1.5-1.9 (slow) |
| Q8 | yes | 829k | 282-350.1 t/s | ~3-3.8 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 854k | 503.6-625.1 t/s | ~5.4-6.8 (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 Qwen2.5-7B?▶
Yes. At Q4 it generates ~503.6-625.1 tok/s and fits up to 854k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~5.4-6.8 tok/s.
How much context fits?▶
At Q4, up to about 854k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
