better than Vulkan?
For me Vulkan performs better on integrated cards, but ROCm (MIGraphX) on 7900 XTX.
Wrong layer. Vulkan is a graphics and compute API, while Lemonade is an LLM server, so comparing them makes about as much sense as comparing sockets to nginx. If your goal is to run local models without writing half the stack yourself, compare Lemonade to Ollama or vLLM.
In my experience using llama.cpp (which ollama uses internally) on a Strix Halo, whether ROCm or Vulkan performs better really depends on the model and it's usually within 10%. I have access to an RX 7900 XT I should compare to though.
