Yes — here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.
ALBERT-xxlarge on the NVIDIA A100 SXM4 80GB
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | yes | 1093k | 3167-3774.3 t/s | ~62.1-74 (slow) |
| Q8 | yes | 1097k | 6333.9-7548.6 t/s | ~124.3-148.1 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 1098k | 11310.6-13479.7 t/s | ~221.9-264.4 (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
