Nemotron 120B hits 17 tok/s on AMD Strix Halo
Early benchmarks show NVIDIA's Nemotron-3 Super 120B-A12B model running at 14-17 tokens per second on AMD's flagship Strix Halo platform. By leveraging 128GB of unified LPDDR5x memory and the Radeon 8060S iGPU, the mobile workstation chip enables massive 384k context windows that previously required multi-GPU server setups.
Strix Halo is proving to be a genuine Apple Silicon competitor for local LLM workloads, finally breaking the 24GB VRAM barrier for PC laptops. Its unified memory architecture allows the iGPU to address nearly the entire 128GB RAM pool, making massive 120B+ models viable on a single mobile chip. Performance of 17 tok/s on a 120B MoE model puts it in direct competition with high-end Mac Studio (M2/M3 Ultra) configurations.
