Can the Intel Gaudi 3 run RWKV-6 (Finch) 3B?
Yes — here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.
RWKV-6 (Finch) 3B on the Intel Gaudi 3
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | yes | 1679k | 346.1-429.7 t/s | ~3.7-4.6 (slow) |
| Q8 | yes | 1727k | 692.3-859.4 t/s | ~7.5-9.3 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 1747k | 1236.2-1534.6 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 RWKV-6 (Finch) 3B?▶
Yes. At Q4 it generates ~1236.2-1534.6 tok/s and fits up to 1747k 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 1747k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
