How it’s rated

Quality 22Basic quality (D) · 22 of 100: how capable the model is at F16, whatever it runs on. Match score 52/100 (quality, fit, speed and memory use) sets the ranking.
How capable the model itself is at F16, from its editorial quality tier scaled by the quantization or precision. It’s the same on any hardware that runs this variant. Scale: A+ 85+ · A 70+ · B 55+ · C 40+ · D under 40.
Runs Runs great
How well it runs on the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495 (192 GB): speed, capped by how well it fits in memory. Runs great: 30+ tokens/s (or near the image, video or decision speed target) · Runs well: 10+ tokens/s · Slow: 3+ tokens/s · Very slow: under 3 · Won’t run: doesn’t fit even with offload. A tight fit or RAM offload caps it at Runs well; heavy offload caps it at Slow.

Match score

To order lists, each result also gets a match score out of 100 from four parts. It favors the most capable model that still runs well.

Model qualityEditorial quality tier of the model, scaled by the quantization or precision used.9.9 / 45
Memory fitFull marks when the model fits in the share of unified memory the GPU can use; fewer when it goes past that limit.25.0 / 25

Quick answers

How much memory does Llama 3.2 1B Instruct need on the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495 192GB?

At F16 it needs about 16.1 GB. The AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495 192GB has 159 GB usable.

How fast is Llama 3.2 1B Instruct on the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495 192GB?

About 54.6 tok/s at F16, an estimate from the hardware’s memory bandwidth and the size of the model.

Which quantization of Llama 3.2 1B Instruct should I use on the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495 192GB?

F16. Of the versions that fit, it is the one that runs best; when two run equally well, the check prefers the higher-rated one.

Estimates come from published hardware specs and our open formulas, not from running the model on your machine. Real speed varies with runtime, drivers and settings. Numbers marked “Measured” come from a linked benchmark.
