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.

What the numbers mean

Capacity and bandwidth

Memory

16 GB

Bandwidth

576 GB/s

Largest model

Nemotron 3-Nano-30B-A3B

16 GB of GDDR6 puts the RTX 5000 Embedded Ada Generation X2 comfortably into small and mid-sized models, with roughly 14.4 GB usable once the driver overhead is taken out. The largest models are out of reach without splitting them.

The memory bus moves 576 GB/s across a 256-bit bus. That is the number that governs generation speed — arithmetic per byte read is small enough that the bus, not the cores, is what everything waits on.

The figure is the memory clock — 2.25 GHz here — multiplied by the bus width. It is why core counts predict generation speed so poorly.

The biggest thing it holds is Nemotron 3-Nano-30B-A3B (31.6B) at Q3_K_M compression, for about 116 tokens per second.

The chip and how it was built

The RTX 5000 Embedded Ada Generation X2 is built on the AD103 graphics processor, using NVIDIA's Ada Lovelace architecture, as part of the Ada-MW(x000A) generation.

The chip is manufactured by TSMC, on a 5 nm process, with a die measuring 379 mm², holding 45.9 billion transistors. 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 March 2023, roughly 3 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

32.7 TFLOPS

FP64

510.7 GFLOPS

Tensor cores

304

On paper the RTX 5000 Embedded Ada Generation X2 reaches 32.7 TFLOPS at half precision and 32.7 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.

Double-precision throughput is 510.7 GFLOPS. It has no bearing on running a language model — no inference runtime uses it — but it separates datacentre parts from consumer ones, since the latter deliberately restrict it.

The card carries 304 tensor cores across 76 streaming multiprocessors. These accelerate the matrix arithmetic at the heart of a transformer, and they are what make prompt processing — reading a long document before answering — dramatically faster than it would otherwise be.

Clocks run from 930 MHz at base to 1.68 GHz boosted. 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

The RTX 5000 Embedded Ada Generation X2 has 128 KB of L1 cache, backed by 64 MB of L2. Cache absorbs a share of the memory traffic that would otherwise hit the main bus, which is the one place on this page where a number other than bandwidth quietly affects generation speed — a large L2 lets more of the working set stay close to the cores.

There are 9,728 shading units, 304 texture mapping units, and 112 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

150 W

The RTX 5000 Embedded Ada Generation X2 is rated at 150 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.

The board occupies a igp. 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.

It connects over PCIe 4.0 x16. The interface governs how quickly a model is loaded from disk into the card, not how fast it runs once there, so a narrower link costs a few seconds at startup and nothing thereafter.

Step by step

How to work out the tokens per second of a RTX 5000 Embedded Ada Generation X2

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.

  1. 01

    Start with the model, not the specification

    The table lists 432 models this RTX 5000 Embedded Ada Generation X2 can run. Search by name, or by size — typing 27b matches on the parameter count even when the name never states it.

  2. 02

    Set the context length you will actually use

    Longer conversations cost memory on top of the weights. With 16 GB to work in, that is frequently the difference between a model fitting and not.

  3. 03

    Pin the comparison to one quality level

    Compression is what lets bigger models fit. The quality control drops any model that needs more of it than you are willing to give.

  4. 04

    Read the speed and the range

    The figures are calculated, not measured. 244 tok/s on Gemma 3 QAT 1B is the fastest result on this card, and like every row it carries a range that reflects how much the runtime matters.

  5. 05

    Check the memory column before committing

    Compare what each model needs with the 16 GB this card provides. Tight means it works today; comfortable means it still works when the conversation grows.

  6. 06

    Cross-check against other hardware

    Each model page repeats this calculation for the whole catalogue. Worth a look before deciding: it shows what else runs the same model, and how the RTX 5000 Embedded Ada Generation X2 compares.

Answers

RTX 5000 Embedded Ada Generation X2 — common questions

01

Can a RTX 5000 Embedded Ada Generation X2 run a 13B model?

Yes. For example a RTX 5000 Embedded Ada Generation X2 runs DeepSeekMoE-16B at Q6_K, using about 13.7 GB of memory and generating around 123 tokens per second.

02

Can a RTX 5000 Embedded Ada Generation X2 run a 30B model?

Yes. For example a RTX 5000 Embedded Ada Generation X2 runs ERNIE-4.5-VL-28B-A3B at Q3_K_M, using about 12.9 GB of memory and generating around 131 tokens per second.

03

How much memory does a RTX 5000 Embedded Ada Generation X2 have?

A RTX 5000 Embedded Ada Generation X2 has 16 GB of GDDR6 memory. Around a tenth of that is reserved by the inference runtime and the driver, leaving roughly 14.4 GB available for a model and its conversation.

04

What is the memory bandwidth of a RTX 5000 Embedded Ada Generation X2?

The RTX 5000 Embedded Ada Generation X2 has 576 GB/s of memory bandwidth, across a 256-bit memory bus. 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.

05

What type of memory does a RTX 5000 Embedded Ada Generation X2 use?

It uses GDDR6 clocked at 2.25 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.

06

Who makes the RTX 5000 Embedded Ada Generation X2?

The RTX 5000 Embedded Ada Generation X2 is a NVIDIA product, with the chip manufactured by TSMC, on a 5 nm process.

07

When was the RTX 5000 Embedded Ada Generation X2 released?

The RTX 5000 Embedded Ada Generation X2 was released in March 2023.

08

How much power does a RTX 5000 Embedded Ada Generation X2 use?

The RTX 5000 Embedded Ada Generation X2 has a rated board power of 150 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.

09

How much cache does a RTX 5000 Embedded Ada Generation X2 have?

The RTX 5000 Embedded Ada Generation X2 has 128 KB of L1 cache, and 64 MB of L2 cache. Cache absorbs part of the memory traffic that would otherwise reach the main bus, so a larger L2 gives a modest lift to generation speed beyond what bandwidth alone predicts.

10

What are the TFLOPS of a RTX 5000 Embedded Ada Generation X2?

The RTX 5000 Embedded Ada Generation X2 is rated at 32.7 TFLOPS at half precision and 32.7 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.

11

How many tensor cores does a RTX 5000 Embedded Ada Generation X2 have?

The RTX 5000 Embedded Ada Generation X2 has 304 tensor cores across 76 streaming multiprocessors. They accelerate the matrix arithmetic a transformer is built from, which mainly speeds up processing a long prompt rather than producing the reply.

12

Does the RTX 5000 Embedded Ada Generation X2 support CUDA?

Yes. The RTX 5000 Embedded Ada Generation X2 reports CUDA compute capability 8.9. Capability 7.0 and above has tensor cores, which modern inference software uses; below that it falls back to slower code paths for quantised models.

13

What bus interface does the RTX 5000 Embedded Ada Generation X2 use?

It uses PCIe 4.0 x16. This governs how fast a model is loaded onto the card rather than how fast it runs once loaded, so it costs a few seconds at startup and nothing during generation.

14

Is the RTX 5000 Embedded Ada Generation X2 good for running local AI models?

Its memory covers small and mid-sized models, though the largest are out of reach and its bandwidth gives usable, if unspectacular, generation speeds. In total it runs 432 of the models we track. Whether that is enough depends entirely on which model you want — the table above answers that directly.

15

Can a RTX 5000 Embedded Ada Generation X2 run a model that does not fit in its memory?

Offloading past the card's 16 GB is possible and usually a false economy: the system-memory portion is slow enough to dominate the result.

16

Would two RTX 5000 Embedded Ada Generation X2 cards be twice as fast?

Pairing RTX 5000 Embedded Ada Generation X2 cards buys headroom rather than pace: 32 GB of combined memory, at roughly the same generation speed as one.

17

What AI models can a RTX 5000 Embedded Ada Generation X2 run?

432 of the 679 open-weight language models we track fit on a RTX 5000 Embedded Ada Generation X2 and can be run locally on it. The table on this page lists every one, with the memory it needs, the quantisation it runs at and an estimated generation speed.

18

What is the largest AI model a RTX 5000 Embedded Ada Generation X2 can run?

The largest model in our catalogue that fits on a RTX 5000 Embedded Ada Generation X2 is Nemotron 3-Nano-30B-A3B at 31.6B parameters, compressed to Q3_K_M. It generates roughly 116 tokens per second and needs about 14.4 GB of the card's memory.

19

How many tokens per second does a RTX 5000 Embedded Ada Generation X2 produce?

It depends on the model. On a RTX 5000 Embedded Ada Generation X2 the fastest model we track is Gemma 3 QAT 1B at about 244 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.

20

Can a RTX 5000 Embedded Ada Generation X2 run a 7B model?

Yes. For example a RTX 5000 Embedded Ada Generation X2 runs Multi-Token Prediction 7B at Q8_0, using about 7.9 GB of memory and generating around 36.4 tokens per second.
