What AI models can the UDOO BOLT V8 (32 GB) run?
- Unified memory
- 32.0 GB
- Usable for models
- 16.0 GB
- Memory bandwidth
- 38 GB/s
- Runs models on
- GPU (Vulkan)
- Released
- 2019
Models run on the GPU (Vulkan) here, sharing the board’s memory with the system. We plan around 16.0 GB of the 32.0 GB (what the operating system leaves free for a model). Radeon Vega 8 graphics (8 compute units); no NPU. llama.cpp uses it through Vulkan (ROCm doesn’t support this GPU).

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.
