Given the 27b is a dense model, I think the numbers are quite ok. Curious about the quant tho.
The cool thing about the strix is its large unified memory, but it lacks memory bandwith for compute intensive workloads. Something like Qwen3.5-122b MoE with only like 12b active parameters might run at twice the speed if it fits the configuration.
What sort of tok/s are you getting on the strix?
About 200 t/s prompt processing and 10-20 t/s with MTP.
Greatly depends on the task, predictable things like code generates at 18-20 t/s. Creative writing more like 10-17 t/s.
Damn - I thought strix would do a bit better than that, for how much it costs.

Yeah. Though I think theres a new strix out soon (Medusa? Gorgon? Something like that).
Its a bit like my P40. On paper, it has 24GB. But that 24gb is capped at 400GB/s and the ai compute is what…Pascal era?
AI = Good, fast, cheap - pick 2
