Can the Intel Gaudi 3 run Qwen3-Next-80B-A3B?
Yes — here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.
Qwen3-Next-80B-A3B on the Intel Gaudi 3
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | no | — | — | — |
| Q8 | yes | 111k | 26.8-33.3 t/s | ~0.3-0.4 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 218k | 47.9-59.5 t/s | ~0.5-0.6 (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 Qwen3-Next-80B-A3B?▶
Yes. At Q4 it generates ~47.9-59.5 tok/s and fits up to 218k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~0.5-0.6 tok/s.
How much context fits?▶
At Q4, up to about 218k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
