Speeds are estimates for a single request — one conversation at a time — calculated from memory bandwidth, model size and quantisation. Real throughput varies with the inference runtime and its version. Figures published by hardware vendors measure many simultaneous requests and are much higher.
On record
Playstation 4 Slim GPU full specification
Everything on record for this board, ordered by how much it bears on running a language model rather than by how a spec sheet would list it. Memory comes first because it decides the outcome; the rest is context.

Bandwidth

Largest model
Baichuan 1-13B
Playstation 4 Slim GPU carries only 8 GB of GDDR5. That limits it to the smaller end of the catalogue, and a model has to fit entirely inside before it generates anything at all. A runtime actually gets about 7.2 GB.
Memory bandwidth reaches 176 GB/s across a bus of 256 bits. Bandwidth is this card's real constraint. Every token requires reading the entire model out of memory, so a large model will feel slow here even when it fits.
The figure is the bus width multiplied by a memory clock of 1.38 GHz. Widening the bus and raising the clock are the two levers a manufacturer has, which is why a card with unremarkable cores can still generate quickly.
In practice that combination tops out at Baichuan 1-13B, 13.3B, compressed to Q3_K_M and generating around 11.8 tokens per second.
The chip and how it was built
Playstation 4 Slim GPU is built on the graphics processor Liverpool 16nm, using the architecture GCN 2.0 from AMD, as part of the generation Console GPU(Sony).
The chip is manufactured by TSMC, on a process of 16 nm, with a die measuring 209 mm². A smaller process generally means more performance for the same power, though for language models it matters far less than the memory subsystem.
It was released in September 2016, roughly 10.018329665319 years ago. Inference software support tends to follow hardware by a year or two, so a card of this age generally has mature, well-optimised code paths available to it.
Compute throughput, and why it matters less than it looks
FP16
1.8 TFLOPS
On paper Playstation 4 Slim GPU reaches 1.8 TFLOPS at half precision, and 1.8 TFLOPS at single precision. These are peak figures no real workload sustains, and generating text reaches only a small fraction of them — decoding is limited by memory rather than arithmetic, which is why a card can look enormously powerful here and still produce tokens at an ordinary rate.
Clocks run from a base of 800 MHz to a boost of 800 MHz. Worth far less here than on a gaming benchmark: raising the clock speeds up the arithmetic, and the arithmetic is not what generation is waiting on.
Cache and processing units
There are 1,152 shading units, 72 texture mapping units, and 32 render output units. These drive graphics workloads and contribute to prompt processing, but they sit idle for much of the time a model spends generating a reply.
Power, size and installation
Power draw
75 W
Playstation 4 Slim GPU is rated at 75 W. Running a language model keeps a card busy in bursts rather than continuously — it draws hard while generating and idles between requests — so sustained draw over a working day is usually well below the rated figure.
measuring 288 mm long. Worth checking against the case and power supply already in the machine, since the largest cards need considerably more of both than a typical desktop provides.

The fastest AI models on a Playstation 4 Slim GPU
Where this card produces tokens quickest. Smaller models dominate here, because generating each token means reading the whole model out of memory once.
Step by step
How to work out the tokens per second of a Playstation 4 Slim GPU
You do not have to calculate anything by hand — the gputps.com calculator on this page has already worked it out for every model this card can hold. Reading off the answer takes six steps.
-
01
Find the model in the table
The table lists 351 models this card can run. Search by name, or by size — typing 27b matches on the parameter count even when the name never states it.
-
02
Decide how long your conversations run
Set the context to your real working length. Short questions cost almost nothing, but a long document can consume a large share of 8 GB it is often what pushes a large model over the edge.
-
03
Pin the comparison to one quality level
By default the table picks the least-compressed copy that fits. Setting a floor removes models that only qualify through heavy compression.
-
04
Look at the range, not just the number
Speeds come with error bars for a reason. The best case here is 58.1 tok/s on Gemma 3 QAT 1B. The same card and model vary by thirty to fifty per cent between inference runtimes.
-
05
Check the memory column before committing
The fit column separates models that just fit from those with room to spare — worth checking before settling on one, against an available 8 GB.
-
06
Check the same model from the other side
Every model name in the table links to its own page, which runs the same calculation across every card we hold. That is where you see whether the right buy is Playstation 4 Slim GPU.
Answers
Playstation 4 Slim GPU — common questions
Playstation 4 Slim GPU— who makes it?
This is a product of AMD, with the chip manufactured by TSMC, on a process of 16 nm.
Playstation 4 Slim GPU— when was it released?
It was released in September 2016.
Playstation 4 Slim GPU— how much power does it use?
Rated board power is 75 W. Generating text draws hard in bursts and idles between requests, so average consumption over a working session is normally well below the rated figure.
Playstation 4 Slim GPU— what are its TFLOPS?
It is rated at 1.8 TFLOPS at half precision and 1.8 TFLOPS at single precision. These are peak arithmetic ceilings rather than achievable rates, and text generation reaches only a small fraction of them because it is limited by memory bandwidth instead.
Playstation 4 Slim GPU— does it support CUDA?
No. CUDA is NVIDIA-only, and this is a card from AMD. It runs language models through ROCm, Vulkan or Metal depending on the software, which are less mature than the CUDA path — our estimates apply a penalty for that.
Playstation 4 Slim GPU— is it good for running local AI models?
Its memory limits it to smaller models though its bandwidth means generation will feel slow on larger models. In total it runs 351 of the models we track. Whether that is enough depends entirely on which model you want — the table above answers that directly.
Playstation 4 Slim GPU— can it run a model that does not fit in its memory?
Offloading past the card's 8 GB sit in system memory and run at a fraction of the speed, so a mostly-offloaded model is rarely worth using. Every figure here assumes it is fully resident on the card.
Would two Playstation 4 Slim GPU cards be twice as fast?
Capacity adds, throughput does not. Two of them give you 16 GB to work with rather than twice the tokens per second — every figure here is for a single card.
Playstation 4 Slim GPU— which AI models can it run?
351 of the 721 open-weight language models we track fit on this card and can be run locally. The table on this page lists every one, with the memory it needs, the quantisation it runs at and an estimated generation speed.
Playstation 4 Slim GPU— what is the largest AI model it can run?
The largest model in our catalogue that fits is Baichuan 1-13B at 13.3B parameters, compressed to Q3_K_M. It generates roughly 11.8 tokens per second and needs about 7.2 GB of the card's memory.
Playstation 4 Slim GPU— how many tokens per second does it produce?
It depends on the model. The fastest model we track here is Gemma 3 QAT 1B at about 58.1 tokens per second, while larger models run proportionally slower because each token requires reading the whole model out of memory once. Speeds are estimates for a single conversation at a time.
Playstation 4 Slim GPU— can it run 7B models?
Yes. For example it runs Gemma 4 E4B at Q5_K_M, using about 7.0 GB of memory and generating around 23.1 tokens per second.
Playstation 4 Slim GPU— can it run 13B models?
Yes. For example it runs Gemma 4 12B at Q3_K_M, using about 6.5 GB of memory and generating around 13.1 tokens per second.
Playstation 4 Slim GPU— how much memory does it have?
This card has 8 GB of GDDR5. Around a tenth is reserved by the inference runtime and the driver, leaving roughly 7.2 GB available for a model and its conversation.
Playstation 4 Slim GPU— what is its memory bandwidth?
Memory bandwidth reaches 176 GB/s across a bus of 256 bits. This is the single best predictor of how fast it generates text, because producing each token means reading the entire model out of memory once.
Playstation 4 Slim GPU— what type of memory does it use?
It uses GDDR5 clocked at 1.38 GHz. HBM types are found on datacentre accelerators and carry far more bandwidth than the GDDR used on desktop cards, which is why they generate tokens considerably faster at the same capacity.
The other direction
Looking at it from the other side?
This page starts from the hardware. If you already know which model you want and need to know what it takes to run it, start from the model instead.
