Can the Intel Arc A770 16GB run BiRNA-BERT?

Yes โ€” here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.

BiRNA-BERT on the Intel Arc A770 16GB

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 198k 1388-1723.1 t/s ~99.1-123.1 (slow)
Q8 yes 200k 2776.1-3446.2 t/s ~198.3-246.2 (slow)
Q4 yes 201k 4957.3-6153.8 t/s ~354.1-439.6 (slow)

Estimate (memory-bound). Beyond "max context" the KV cache spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and speed drops to the "beyond" figure.

FAQ

Can the Intel Arc A770 16GB run BiRNA-BERT?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~4957.3-6153.8 tok/s and fits up to 201k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~354.1-439.6 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 201k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
