Can the Intel Arc A770 16GB run StableLM-3B-4E1T?

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

StableLM-3B-4E1T on the Intel Arc A770 16GB

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 116k 58.1-72.1 t/s ~4.1-5.2 (slow)
Q8 yes 159k 116.2-144.2 t/s ~8.3-10.3 (slow)
Q4 yes 178k 207.5-257.6 t/s ~14.8-18.4 (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 StableLM-3B-4E1T?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~207.5-257.6 tok/s and fits up to 178k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~14.8-18.4 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 178k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
