Frequently asked questions

Can Qwen 3 30B-A3B (MoE) run on AMD MI300X 192GB?

Yes. Qwen 3 30B-A3B (MoE) at FP8 (E4M3) needs 36.4 GB including the KV cache, and AMD MI300X 192GB has 192 GB — so it fits on a single GPU.

How fast is Qwen 3 30B-A3B (MoE) on AMD MI300X 192GB?

1723 tokens/sec per stream and 20670 tok/s aggregate with continuous batching at 8 concurrent users. Time to first token is 105.8 ms, and inter-token latency is 580.6 µs.

What does Qwen 3 30B-A3B (MoE) on AMD MI300X 192GB cost per million tokens?

$0.0336 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 30B-A3B (MoE) need on AMD MI300X 192GB?

30.0 GB for the weights at FP8 (E4M3), plus 6.4 GB of KV cache for 8 concurrent requests at 8K context — 36.4 GB total. Every extra concurrent user at long context costs more, so leave headroom.

Is AMD MI300X 192GB the right choice for Qwen 3 30B-A3B (MoE)?

It works. Compare $0.0336 per 1M tokens against the alternatives below — the cheapest option that fits the same workload is 4× RTX 3080 10GB at $0.005513, and the fastest is 1× Cerebras CS-3 (WSE-3) at 78000 tok/s.
