## English Version
|

+
|
| 28 |
+
### Why this matters
|
| 29 |
+
|
| 30 |
+
Most local AI guides assume:
|
| 31 |
+
- NVIDIA GPU (CUDA)
|
| 32 |
+
- Apple Silicon (macOS)
|
| 33 |
+
- $1,500+ USD budget
|
| 34 |
+
|
| 35 |
+
This repo documents that a **budget AMD GPU on Linux** running Gemma 4 — released April 2026 — outperforms a brand new Mac Mini M4 in decode speed, at a fraction of the cost.
|
| 36 |
+
|
| 37 |
+
### Hardware
|
| 38 |
+
|
| 39 |
+
| Component | Detail |
|
| 40 |
+
|-----------|--------|
|
| 41 |
+
| GPU | AMD RX 6700 XT 12GB (gfx1031) |
|
| 42 |
+
| CPU | AMD Ryzen 5 5600G |
|
| 43 |
+
| RAM | 16GB |
|
| 44 |
+
| OS | Pop!_OS 24.04 LTS |
|
| 45 |
+
| Ollama | 0.20.2 |
|
| 46 |
+
| ROCm override | HSA_OVERRIDE_GFX_VERSION=10.3.0 |
|
| 47 |
+
|
| 48 |
+
### Results (average of 3 runs)
|
| 49 |
+
|
| 50 |
+
| Model | Prefill (tok/s) | Decode (tok/s) | VRAM | Status |
|
| 51 |
+
|-------|----------------|----------------|------|--------|
|
| 52 |
+
| gemma4:e2b | 1022.39 | 85.00 | ~2GB | ROCm ✅ full GPU |
|
| 53 |
+
| gemma4:e4b | 697.91 | 57.34 | ~4GB | ROCm ✅ full GPU |
|
| 54 |
+
| gemma4:26b | 157.94 | 10.70 | 12GB + RAM offload | ROCm ⚠️ partial |
|
| 55 |
+
|
| 56 |
+
> **Note:** Prefill varies between runs due to KV cache warming.
|
| 57 |
+
> Decode is the number that matters for user experience — very consistent.
|
| 58 |
+
|
| 59 |
+
### Platform comparison (decode ~4B models)
|
| 60 |
+
|
| 61 |
+
| Hardware | Decode tok/s | Price (approx USD) |
|
| 62 |
+
|----------|--------------|--------------------|
|
| 63 |
+
| **RX 6700 XT + ROCm (this repo)** | **57-85** | existing hardware |
|
| 64 |
+
| Mac Mini M4 16GB | 25-40 | ~$600 new |
|
| 65 |
+
| RTX 3070 12GB | 50-80 | ~$500 used |
|
| 66 |
+
|
| 67 |
+
**The RX 6700 XT doubles the Mac Mini M4 16GB in decode speed for models that fit in VRAM.**
|
| 68 |
+
|
| 69 |
+
### The gfx1031 problem
|
| 70 |
+
|
| 71 |
+
The RX 6700 XT reports `gfx1031` architecture, but ROCm doesn't officially support it.
|
| 72 |
+
Without the override, Ollama falls back to CPU (~3-5 tok/s).
|
| 73 |
+
|
| 74 |
+
**Fix:**
|
| 75 |
+
```bash
|
| 76 |
+
sudo mkdir -p /etc/systemd/system/ollama.service.d
|
| 77 |
+
|
| 78 |
+
sudo tee /etc/systemd/system/ollama.service.d/rocm-fix.conf << 'CONF'
|
| 79 |
+
[Service]
|
| 80 |
+
Environment="HSA_OVERRIDE_GFX_VERSION=10.3.0"
|
| 81 |
+
Environment="ROCR_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0"
|
| 82 |
+
CONF
|
| 83 |
+
|
| 84 |
+
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
|
| 85 |
+
sudo systemctl restart ollama
|
| 86 |
+
```
|
| 87 |
+
|
| 88 |
+
**Verify it worked:**
|
| 89 |
+
```bash
|
| 90 |
+
journalctl -u ollama -n 10 --no-pager | grep "AMD Radeon"
|
| 91 |
+
# Expected output:
|
| 92 |
+
# description="AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT" total="12.0 GiB" available="11.1 GiB"
|
| 93 |
+
```
|
| 94 |
+
|
| 95 |
+
### Full setup
|
| 96 |
+
|
| 97 |
+
```bash
|
| 98 |
+
# 1. Install Ollama
|
| 99 |
+
curl -fsSL https://ollama.com/install.sh | sh
|
| 100 |
+
|
| 101 |
+
# 2. Apply ROCm fix (see above)
|
| 102 |
+
|
| 103 |
+
# 3. Pull models
|
| 104 |
+
ollama pull gemma4:e2b # 2B - fast, fits easily
|
| 105 |
+
ollama pull gemma4:e4b # 4B - great quality, fits in VRAM
|
| 106 |
+
ollama pull gemma4:26b # 26B - requires RAM offload on 12GB
|
| 107 |
+
|
| 108 |
+
# 4. Run
|
| 109 |
+
ollama run gemma4:e4b "Hello, what is MLOps?"
|
| 110 |
+
```
|
| 111 |
+
|
| 112 |
+
### Run the benchmark yourself
|
| 113 |
+
|
| 114 |
+
```bash
|
| 115 |
+
chmod +x bench_gemma4.sh
|
| 116 |
+
./bench_gemma4.sh
|
| 117 |
+
```
|
| 118 |
+
|
| 119 |
+
Runs 3 iterations per model, saves results to `gemma4_benchmark_results.md`.

### Por qué esto importa
|
| 126 |
+
|
| 127 |
+
La mayoría de guías de AI local asumen:
|
| 128 |
+
- GPU NVIDIA (CUDA)
|
| 129 |
+
- Apple Silicon (macOS)
|
| 130 |
+
- Presupuesto de $1,500 USD o más
|
| 131 |
+
|
| 132 |
+
Este repo documenta que una **GPU AMD de segunda mano en Linux** corriendo Gemma 4 (lanzada en abril 2026) supera en velocidad a un Mac Mini M4 nuevo, a una fracción del costo.
|
| 133 |
+
|
| 134 |
+
### Hardware
|
| 135 |
+
|
| 136 |
+
| Componente | Detalle |
|
| 137 |
+
|------------|---------|
|
| 138 |
+
| GPU | AMD RX 6700 XT 12GB (gfx1031) |
|
| 139 |
+
| CPU | AMD Ryzen 5 5600G |
|
| 140 |
+
| RAM | 16GB |
|
| 141 |
+
| OS | Pop!_OS 24.04 LTS |
|
| 142 |
+
| Ollama | 0.20.2 |
|
| 143 |
+
| Override ROCm | HSA_OVERRIDE_GFX_VERSION=10.3.0 |
|
| 144 |
+
|
| 145 |
+
### Resultados (promedio de 3 corridas)
|
| 146 |
+
|
| 147 |
+
| Modelo | Prefill (tok/s) | Decode (tok/s) | VRAM | Estado |
|
| 148 |
+
|--------|----------------|----------------|------|--------|
|
| 149 |
+
| gemma4:e2b | 1022.39 | 85.00 | ~2GB | ROCm ✅ GPU completa |
|
| 150 |
+
| gemma4:e4b | 697.91 | 57.34 | ~4GB | ROCm ✅ GPU completa |
|
| 151 |
+
| gemma4:26b | 157.94 | 10.70 | 12GB + offload a RAM | ROCm ⚠️ parcial |
|
| 152 |
+
|
| 153 |
+
> **Nota:** El prefill varía entre corridas por el KV cache warming.
|
| 154 |
+
> El decode es el número relevante para experiencia de usuario y es muy consistente.
|
| 155 |
+
|
| 156 |
+
### Comparativa vs otras plataformas (decode modelos ~4B)
|
| 157 |
+
|
| 158 |
+
| Hardware | Decode tok/s | Precio aprox MXN |
|
| 159 |
+
|----------|-------------|-----------------|
|
| 160 |
+
| **RX 6700 XT + ROCm (este repo)** | **57-85** | hardware existente |
|
| 161 |
+
| Mac Mini M4 16GB | 25-40 | ~$23,000 MXN nuevo |
|
| 162 |
+
| RTX 3070 12GB | 50-80 | ~$10,000 MXN usado |
|
| 163 |
+
|
| 164 |
+
**La RX 6700 XT dobla en velocidad al Mac Mini M4 16GB en modelos que caben en VRAM.**
|
| 165 |
+
|
| 166 |
+
### El problema del gfx1031
|
| 167 |
+
|
| 168 |
+
La RX 6700 XT reporta arquitectura `gfx1031` pero ROCm no la tiene en su lista de soporte oficial.
|
| 169 |
+
Sin el override, Ollama cae a CPU (~3-5 tok/s).
|
| 170 |
+
|
| 171 |
+
**Fix:**
|
| 172 |
+
```bash
|
| 173 |
+
sudo mkdir -p /etc/systemd/system/ollama.service.d
|
| 174 |
+
|
| 175 |
+
sudo tee /etc/systemd/system/ollama.service.d/rocm-fix.conf << 'CONF'
|
| 176 |
+
[Service]
|
| 177 |
+
Environment="HSA_OVERRIDE_GFX_VERSION=10.3.0"
|
| 178 |
+
Environment="ROCR_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0"
|
| 179 |
+
CONF
|
| 180 |
+
|
| 181 |
+
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
|
| 182 |
+
sudo systemctl restart ollama
|
| 183 |
+
```
|
| 184 |
+
|
| 185 |
+
**Verificar que funcionó:**
|
| 186 |
+
```bash
|
| 187 |
+
journalctl -u ollama -n 10 --no-pager | grep "AMD Radeon"
|
| 188 |
+
# Output esperado:
|
| 189 |
+
# description="AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT" total="12.0 GiB" available="11.1 GiB"
|
| 190 |
+
```
|
| 191 |
+
|
| 192 |
+
### Setup completo
|
| 193 |
+
|
| 194 |
+
```bash
|
| 195 |
+
# 1. Instalar Ollama
|
| 196 |
+
curl -fsSL https://ollama.com/install.sh | sh
|
| 197 |
+
|
| 198 |
+
# 2. Aplicar fix de ROCm (ver arriba)
|
| 199 |
+
|
| 200 |
+
# 3. Descargar modelos
|
| 201 |
+
ollama pull gemma4:e2b # 2B - rápido, cabe fácil
|
| 202 |
+
ollama pull gemma4:e4b # 4B - buena calidad, cabe en VRAM
|
| 203 |
+
ollama pull gemma4:26b # 26B - requiere offload a RAM en 12GB
|
| 204 |
+
|
| 205 |
+
# 4. Correr
|
| 206 |
+
ollama run gemma4:e4b "Hola, explica qué es MLOps"
|
| 207 |
+
```
|
| 208 |
+
|
| 209 |
+
### Correr el benchmark tú mismo
|
| 210 |
+
|
| 211 |
+
```bash
|
| 212 |
+
chmod +x bench_gemma4.sh
|
| 213 |
+
./bench_gemma4.sh
|
| 214 |
+
```
|
| 215 |
+
|
| 216 |
+
Corre 3 iteraciones por modelo y guarda los resultados en `gemma4_benchmark_results.md`.
|
| 217 |
+
|
| 218 |
+
