BM-007LFM2.5-8B-A1B MoE 8B on RX 7900 XT vs Arc B60 — small-model cross-GPU
2026-07-18LFM2.5-8B-A1B (Q4_K_M, 8.47B total / ~1.7B active MoE params, 4.79 GiB) measured on TWO GPUs for a clean MoE-vs-GPU comparison: EvoX2's AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT (gfx1100, ROCm) at 269.01 tok/s gen / 7464.85 tok/s prompt using 6.81GB VRAM, and Jitori's Intel Arc Pro B60 (Battlemage, Vulkan) at 68.79 tok/s gen / 1688.53 tok/s prompt. The RX 7900 XT is ~3.9x faster on this MoE than the Arc B60 - the SAME ratio as on the dense Llama-3.1-8B (see bm-008), confirming the GPU gap is consistent across architectures. Companion to bm-011 (the APU iGPU result on the same machine). Closes the small-model and real-app workload gaps.
BM-008Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct dense 8B on Arc B60 vs RX 7900 XT — general-work cross-GPU
2026-07-18Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct (Q4_K_M, 8.03B dense params, 4.58 GiB) measured on TWO GPUs for a clean dense-vs-GPU comparison: Jitori's Intel Arc Pro B60 (Battlemage, Vulkan) at 27.01 tok/s gen / 706.61 tok/s prompt, and EvoX2's AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT (gfx1100, ROCm) at 105.22 tok/s gen / 3210.77 tok/s prompt. The RX 7900 XT is ~3.9x faster on this dense 8B than the Arc B60 - the SAME ratio as on the MoE LFM2.5-8B (see bm-007), confirming the GPU gap is consistent across architectures. Closes the general-work workload and dense-general model-class gaps; the 9th of 10.
BM-012Qwen3-30B-A3B INT4 on Arc B60: OpenVINO/OVMS vs llama.cpp Vulkan — backend shootout
2026-07-18Qwen3-30B-A3B-Instruct-2507 (INT4, OpenVINO IR) served via OpenVINO Model Server 2026.2.1 on Jitori's Intel Arc Pro B60 (Battlemage BMG G21, 24GB). Generates at 67.95 tok/s via the OpenAI streaming API - roughly 1.76x faster than the same B60 running Qwen3-Coder-30B-A3B Q4_K_M via llama.cpp Vulkan (bm-001, 38.6 tok/s). This is the backend comparison the dataset was missing: same GPU, same 30B-A3B model class, two Intel-GPU backends. Finding: OpenVINO is meaningfully faster than Vulkan on Battlemage for this workload. This also corrects a fleet assumption - OpenVINO's GPU plugin (Level Zero) works cleanly on this B60, contradicting the older 'SYCL is broken on Battlemage, Vulkan-only' note.
