Can the Intel Arc A770 16GB run ESM2-8M?

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

ESM2-8M on the Intel Arc A770 16GB

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 201k 20300-25200 t/s ~1450-1800 (slow)
Q8 yes 202k 40600-50400 t/s ~2900-3600 (slow)
Q4 yes 202k 72500-90000 t/s ~5178.6-6428.6 (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 ESM2-8M?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~72500-90000 tok/s and fits up to 202k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~5178.6-6428.6 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 202k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
