This machine leaves 96.00 GiB for the model once the system has its share, and it takes 18 of the 20 models we measure at the reference compression. What decides how fast it answers is not the chip: it is the 256 GB/s of memory bandwidth.

Memory

The memory you can actually use

Unified memory is shared with the operating system and everything you have open. The reserve here is deliberately conservative; you can change it in the tool.

Of the 128 GiB the machine has, 32.0 GiB never reach the model. The bar shows qwen3.8-flash-next at IQ4_XS, the largest of the 20 models in the dataset that still fits at a 8,192-token context, and the KV cache that context needs — computed layer by layer, not with the usual rule of thumb.

128 GB on the box, 96 for the model. AMD states that on this generation up to 96 GB of the 128 GB are reserved for the graphics processor, and the graphics processor is what runs the model. So every figure on this page is computed with 96, not with the 125 that the box minus our system reserve would give. On Linux that limit is a driver setting that AMD documents as adjustable, but it publishes no maximum figure for it: we stick to the figure it does publish.

Speed

Memory bandwidth

Two different limits, and people confuse them constantly. While the model is writing its answer, bandwidth rules: every single token means reading the weights again, so tokens per second is roughly bandwidth divided by model size. While the model is reading your document, compute rules: the whole input is processed at once. That is why a laptop with no GPU can take minutes before the first word appears and then type at a tolerable pace.

256 GB/s — Derived, not published by the manufacturer · the manufacturer publishes the bus width but neither the memory speed nor the bandwidth. This figure is the usual arithmetic derivation () and we could not confirm it at source (Source).

Compute: 14.8 TFLOPS (estimate for this class of machine) — Estimated · the manufacturer does not publish this figure at all; ours is a conservative estimate, not a specification. The figures in this line do not all come from the same measure across machines, because each manufacturer publishes a different one. Compare them between machines only with that in mind.

Fit

Which models fit here, and which do not

Fitting means three things at once fit in the memory left over: the model file, its context memory, and the runtime’s working headroom. Context memory is computed from each model’s declared attention pattern layer by layer, not from the generic formula — which is why several models fit here that other calculators say do not.

Sizes are the real published files at the reference compression, one step per row: Q4_K_M where the author publishes it, the nearest neighbour where they do not. Every row states which one it is showing. Q4_K_M is our quality floor: below it the loss is audible in the answers. A model that would only fit here at a harsher compression is listed as not fitting, on purpose. A dash in a context column means the model itself does not offer that context, so there is nothing to fit.
