AMD Radeon RX 6800M — Benchmarks & Specs
Short answer: the AMD Radeon RX 6800M generates a median 48.7 tokens/sec on 7-9B dense models at 4-bit (Q4) under llama.cpp, across 3 cited runs from knightli.com, llama.cpp GitHub Discussion #10879 and PromptQuorum.
Bottom line: how fast is the Radeon RX 6800M?
SpecPicks median: 48.7 tokens/sec across 3 cited single-user runs of 7-9B dense models at 4-bit (Q4) under llama.cpp (range 14.0–48.7 tok/s), from knightli.com, llama.cpp GitHub Discussion #10879, PromptQuorum. One of those runs: llama3:8b at q4_K_M generates 14.0 tokens/sec under llama.cpp, per PromptQuorum. At 1440p Ultra, the Radeon RX 6800M averages 98 fps in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt with a 72 fps 1% low, per UltrabookReview. In 3DMark Fire Strike Graphics it scores 34,993 points, per Notebookcheck.
Every figure above is a row in the tables below, and each row links out to the review or public benchmark database the number was taken from; the SpecPicks median is computed here from the runs it names, each a row in the AI table. SpecPicks aggregates published measurements; it does not report first-party benchmark runs.
