The official source reports this update: b10714: vulkan: tune mat-vec rows for batched inference on Strix Halo. vulkan: tune mat-vec rows for batched inference on Strix Halo ( #27909 ) vulkan: RDNA3 static mat-vec rows above four columns On RDNA3 above four columns a static 4 rows for all types benches faster than the default. vulkan: RDNA3 static mat-vec-id rows mul_mat_vec_id has no column dimension to switch on. On my Strix Halo machine, a static 4 is faster here than the defaults across types and batch sizes.
