Can the Intel Arc A770 16GB run Llama 3.2 1B?

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

Llama 3.2 1B on the Intel Arc A770 16GB

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 164k 132-163.9 t/s ~9.4-11.7 (slow)
Q8 yes 183k 264.1-327.8 t/s ~18.9-23.4 (slow)
Q4 yes 191k 471.5-585.4 t/s ~33.7-41.8 (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.
