Yes. Qwen3 32B needs about 22 GB and the Ryzen AI Max 390 (Radeon 8050S) with 32 GB of unified memory leaves about 24 GB for models. Expect about 7 tok/s, slow, but it works.
Can the Ryzen AI Max 390 (Radeon 8050S) run Llama 3.3 70B?
Yes, with 64 GB or more. Llama 3.3 70B needs about 45 GB and the Ryzen AI Max 390 (Radeon 8050S) with 64 GB of unified memory leaves about 48 GB for models. Expect about 3 tok/s, slow, but it works. The 32 GB version doesn't have room.
Can the Ryzen AI Max 390 (Radeon 8050S) run gpt-oss 120B?
No. gpt-oss 120B needs about 67 GB and the Ryzen AI Max 390 (Radeon 8050S) has at most 64 GB of unified memory, of which about 48 GB is usable for models. The most capable model it runs well is Qwen3 30B-A3B, at about 45 tok/s.
Generating a token reads the model's active weights from memory once, so speed is roughly memory bandwidth (256 GB/s) divided by the active weight size, with efficiency calibrated on our own rack. Sizes are Ollama's default 4-bit downloads plus about 1.2 GB for context. The GPU shares memory with the system, so we count about three quarters of it for models. Real results are usually within about a third. Measured one yourself? Send us the number.
The Ryzen AI Max+ 395 mini PC, 128 GB runs gpt-oss 120B at about 31 tok/s, from $3,400 used.
