How it’s rated

Quality 15Basic quality (D) · 15 of 100: how capable the model is at Q6_K, whatever it runs on. Match score 52/100 (quality, fit, speed and memory use) sets the ranking.: How capable the model itself is at Q6_K, 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 9 HX 370 (DDR5 SO-DIMM) (32 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.	7.1 / 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
SpeedGeneration speed against a 40 tokens/s target for LLMs, or render time against a target for image and video.	15.0 / 15
Memory useRewards using the memory you have, so a bigger, better variant beats a tiny one that leaves most memory idle.	5.1 / 15
Match score	52.3 / 100

The match score orders results; it is not shown as a grade. Quality and Runs are the two ratings in the tables.

Quick answers

How much memory does Yi Coder 1.5B Chat need on the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 (DDR5 SO-DIMM) 32GB?

At Q6_K it needs about 5.3 GB. The AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 (DDR5 SO-DIMM) 32GB has 24.0 GB usable.

How fast is Yi Coder 1.5B Chat on the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 (DDR5 SO-DIMM) 32GB?

About 44.4 tok/s at Q6_K, an estimate from the hardware’s memory bandwidth and the size of the model.

Which quantization of Yi Coder 1.5B Chat should I use on the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 (DDR5 SO-DIMM) 32GB?

Q6_K. 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.
