Frequently asked questions

Can Qwen 3 235B-A22B (MoE) run on AMD MI300X 192GB?

Yes. Qwen 3 235B-A22B (MoE) at AWQ 4-bit needs 141.9 GB including the KV cache, and AMD MI300X 192GB has 192 GB — so it fits on a single GPU.

How fast is Qwen 3 235B-A22B (MoE) on AMD MI300X 192GB?

250.5 tokens/sec per stream and 3007 tok/s aggregate with continuous batching at 8 concurrent users. Time to first token is 585.6 ms, and inter-token latency is 4.0 ms.

What does Qwen 3 235B-A22B (MoE) on AMD MI300X 192GB cost per million tokens?

$0.2310 per 1M output tokens at 1× AMD MI300X 192GB ($2.50/hr). That is the marginal hardware cost — add idle capacity, ops, and egress for the real figure.

How much VRAM does Qwen 3 235B-A22B (MoE) need on AMD MI300X 192GB?

129.3 GB for the weights at AWQ 4-bit, plus 12.6 GB of KV cache for 8 concurrent requests at 8K context — 141.9 GB total. Every extra concurrent user at long context costs more, so leave headroom.

Is AMD MI300X 192GB the right choice for Qwen 3 235B-A22B (MoE)?

It works. Compare $0.2310 per 1M tokens against the alternatives below — the cheapest option that fits the same workload is 8× RTX 5090 32GB at $0.0201, and the fastest is 4× Cerebras CS-3 (WSE-3) at 154298 tok/s.
