DeepSeek V4 Flash / layers37-42 Q4 experts hybrid / ds4 2K frontier, full32-point curve

AMD Radeon 8060S integrated GPU (Strix Halo) · ds4 (ROCm 7.2.4) · 65,665 ctx

generation:
15.0 tokens/s
prompt processing (prefill):
138.0 tokens/s
quant:
IQ2XXS/Q4_K (GGUF)

Reported by the source; GPU count, offloading and concurrent requests can change these figures. Prompt-processing speed is input throughput, not time to first token. Check the full setup before comparing.

User reports DeepSeek V4 at 15 t/s generation and 138 t/s prefill on an AMD Radeon 8060S. Setup is ds4-bench on ROCm 7.2.4 with a Q4K/IQ2XXS hybrid quant and a 65665-token context allocation. The figures come from the first 2048-token frontier of a 32-point sweep to 65536, with 2048 prefill and 128 generation tokens per row; generation falls to 12.17 t/s at the deepest frontier.

User reports DeepSeek V4 at 15.3 t/s generation and 152.2 t/s prompt processing on an AMD Radeon 8060S. Setup is native ds4 on ROCm 7.2.4 with an IQ2XXS/Q2_K imatrix GGUF, ctx=65665, prefill_chunk=8192, and no speculative decoding. The headline figures come from the first 2,048-token frontier of a 32-point sweep from 2K to 64K, where generation falls from 15.25 t/s to 12.36 t/s. Each row times 2,048 prefill tokens and 128 generated tokens; the 32 frontiers are not independent trials.

Reported by the source; GPU count, offloading and concurrent requests can change these figures. Prompt-processing speed is shown only when the source reports it; generation speed cannot tell us time to first token. Check the full setup before comparing.

User reports a patched engine improved speed from 5-6 to 15-16 tok/s. Setup uses the Unsloth UD-IQ3_XXS quant. The user notes a wired limit at 120GB.

User reports a Lucebox custom setup with an AMD Radeon AI PRO R9700 and Strix Halo 128GB running 3.63x faster than a single DGX Spark. Setup uses asymmetric parallelism: the R9700 handles the dense path, hot experts, cache and draft model, while the Strix Halo holds the other experts. The run is experimental, at q2 quant and 16k context. The user is working on KVFlash for 64k-128k.
