Can Laptop · Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 (Radeon 890M) · 32 GB run Qwen2.5-Coder 7B Instruct?

32 GB unified · 120 GB/s memory bandwidth · Qwen2.5-Coder 7B Instruct has 7.6B parameters.

Short answer

Yes, comfortable for chat and acceptable or better for every workload we test.

Best quantization for chat: Q6_K (6.0 GB of weights) on Lemonade. Generation: 9–16 tok/s, leaving about 16 GB free for your other apps.

How it rates for each workload

Same model and machine, different jobs. Agents and long documents send far bigger prompts than chat, so they need much more speed and memory.

Speeds are bandwidth-based estimates; no direct benchmark exists for this pair. “First reply” is the time to read the workload’s opening prompt. How we calculate
