QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 78k 11.7-13.9 t/s ~0.4-0.5 (slow)
Q8 yes 143k 23.3-27.8 t/s ~0.9-1 (slow)
Q4 yes 172k 41.7-49.7 t/s ~1.5-1.8 (slow)

Estimate (memory-bound). Beyond "max context" the KV cache spills to SSD swap and speed drops to the "beyond" figure.

FAQ

Can the NVIDIA Jetson T3000 run Gemma 7B?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~41.7-49.7 tok/s and fits up to 172k context; beyond that it spills to SSD swap and slows to ~1.5-1.8 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 172k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to SSD swap and throughput collapses.
