What the gemma-4-E2B-it numbers mean
The fastest verified result on our board is 169.7 output tok/s on an Radeon AI Pro R9700 at Q8_0 with a 2048-token context. That is about 5.9 ms per generated token — 500 tokens takes roughly 2.9 seconds. Prompt processing on the same record runs at 9649.1 tok/s, so a 2,000-token prompt is read in about 0.2 seconds. Across the 3 records we hold for this model the range is 113.4–232.6 tok/s on 3 GPUs, because quantisation, context length and the engine build all move the number.
How much VRAM does gemma-4-E2B-it need?
gemma-4-E2B-it has 5.0B parameters. These estimates use the same formula as the VRAM calculator: weights, plus about 15% for a moderate-context KV cache and runtime overhead, plus a small engine floor.
| Quantisation | Estimated VRAM | Smallest card that fits |
|---|---|---|
| Q4_K_M (4-bit) | 4.0 GB | 8 GB |
| Q8_0 (8-bit) | 6.9 GB | 12 GB |
| FP16 (16-bit) | 12.3 GB | 16 GB |
