Z-Image Turbo on AMD Ryzen Embedded V1500B NAS (8 GB)

Can the AMD Ryzen Embedded V1500B NAS (8 GB) run Z-Image Turbo?

Barely: it runs very slowly (CPU offload)

Very slow (CPU offload). At FP8 it needs about 4.4 GB of 5.2 GB usable and takes about 8.3 min per image.

Best precision: FP8
Memory mode: Sequential CPU offload
Time per image: 8.3 min
Output: 1024×1024, 8 steps

How it’s rated

Quality 82Great quality (A) · 82 of 100: how capable the model is at FP8, whatever it runs on. Match score 66/100 (quality, fit, speed and memory use) sets the ranking.: How capable the model itself is at FP8, 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 Very slowCPU offload: How well it runs on the AMD Ryzen Embedded V1500B NAS (8 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.	37.0 / 45
Memory fitFull marks when the model fits in the share of the NAS’s memory that models can use (the rest stays with the NAS system and its storage services); fewer when it goes past that limit.	12.0 / 25
SpeedGeneration speed against a 40 tokens/s target for LLMs, or render time against a target for image and video.	2.1 / 15
Memory useRewards using the memory you have, so a bigger, better variant beats a tiny one that leaves most memory idle.	15.0 / 15
Match score	66.2 / 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 Z-Image Turbo need on the AMD Ryzen Embedded V1500B NAS 8GB?

At FP8 it needs about 4.4 GB. The AMD Ryzen Embedded V1500B NAS 8GB has 5.2 GB usable.

How long does Z-Image Turbo take on the AMD Ryzen Embedded V1500B NAS 8GB?

About 8.3 min per image at FP8 and default settings, an estimate scaled from a reference timing by this hardware’s compute speed.

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.
