Unit
tok/s, single-GPU llama.cpp GGUF
Model
Meta-Llama-3-70B
Methodology
XiongjieDai GPU-Benchmarks-on-LLM-Inference, llama.cpp on RunPod, Q4_K_M GGUF, batch-1 decode. Reported range 22-24 tok/s; midpoint 23 recorded.
Measured by
third_party
Reproducible
yes
Thermal state
unknown
notes
70B Q4_K_M fits entirely in 80GB HBM2. Used as the anchor for estimating the A100-40GB variant's 70B ceiling (~17-19 tok/s) - bandwidth is the binding constraint on dense decode.
