Can the Intel Arc A770 16GB run Qwen2.5-Math-1.5B?

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

Qwen2.5-Math-1.5B on the Intel Arc A770 16GB

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 156k 108.3-134.4 t/s ~7.7-9.6 (slow)
Q8 yes 179k 216.5-268.8 t/s ~15.5-19.2 (slow)
Q4 yes 189k 386.7-480 t/s ~27.6-34.3 (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 Qwen2.5-Math-1.5B?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~386.7-480 tok/s and fits up to 189k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~27.6-34.3 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 189k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
