Qwen3-30B-A3B MoE — 17.28 GiB Q4_K_M
69 t/s decode — flat through 48k context. Faster than an RTX 5090 on the same model. No degradation.
Prompt Processing
| Prompt Size | Tokens/sec |
|---|
| pp512 | 1,173 ± 4.6 |
| pp1024 | 1,075 ± 3.2 |
| pp2048 | 951 ± 4.2 |
| pp4096 | 776 ± 3.2 |
| pp8192 | 553 ± 1.6 |
| pp16384 | 336 ± 0.2 |
Token Generation (Decode)
| Test | Tokens/sec |
|---|
| tg128 | 69.0 ± 0.0 |
| tg256 | 69.0 ± 0.0 |
Context Depth Stability
| Context Depth | pp4096+tg128 (t/s) |
|---|
| @ context 0 | 476 |
| @ context 20,000 | 478 |
| @ context 48,000 | 478 |
Zero degradation across context depths. KV cache handling is stable on ROCm 7.13.
vs RTX 5090 — Same Model (GPT-OSS-120B, Reddit data)
Comparison data from
r/LocalLLaMA. Our Strix Halo numbers are from a different (smaller) MoE model, but the decode performance pattern holds.
| Test | Strix Halo (ours) | RTX 5090 (Reddit) | Winner |
|---|
| tg128 @ ctx 0 | 69.0 | 39.4 | Strix Halo +75% |
| tg128 @ ctx 20k | 69.0 (flat) | 37.0 | Strix Halo +86% |
| tg128 @ ctx 48k | 69.0 (flat) | 35.2 | Strix Halo +96% |
| pp4096 @ ctx 0 | 776 | 4,066 | 5090 wins (compute) |
Different models (Qwen3-30B vs GPT-OSS-120B) — decode comparison is directional, not 1:1. Prefill is compute-bound where discrete GPUs dominate.
Qwen3-14B Dense — 8.38 GiB Q4_K_M
| Test | Tokens/sec |
|---|
| pp512 | 703 ± 1.0 |
| pp2048 | 602 ± 0.3 |
| pp4096 | 520 ± 0.2 |
| tg128 | 23.5 ± 0.0 |
Dense models are memory-bandwidth bound on every token. MoE models (above) are the Strix Halo's sweet spot — only active experts read per token.
The Stack
These benchmarks were collected on a live system running 14 AI agents, ComfyUI, whisper.cpp, Kokoro TTS, and a full web stack simultaneously. This is not a clean-room benchmark — it's real-world performance under load.
| Metric | Value |
|---|
| Concurrent agents | 14 |
| Total services | 13 |
| Power draw (inference) | ~120W |
| Agent overhead | < 2GB |
| Cloud services used | 0 |
