Can the Intel Arc A770 16GB run BLOOM-560M?

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

BLOOM-560M on the Intel Arc A770 16GB

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 185k 290-360 t/s ~20.7-25.7 (slow)
Q8 yes 193k 580-720 t/s ~41.4-51.4 (slow)
Q4 yes 197k 1035.7-1285.7 t/s ~74-91.8 (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 BLOOM-560M?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~1035.7-1285.7 tok/s and fits up to 197k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~74-91.8 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 197k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
