I don't see any comparable numbers on the page you linked. Seems to only have numbers for 1B and 3B parameter models. Comparisons to AWQ and OmniQuant in Table 3 seem quite favorable with SeedLM showing 10% - 50% better performance.
Also seems like the techniques may be possible to combine.
As a rule of thumb, the bigger the model is, the more graciously it degrades under quantisation. So you may assume performance loss for a 8B model would be lower than for a 3B model. (I know that doesn't make up for missing numbers in link, just fyi.)
