Can the Intel Arc B580 12GB run AraBERT LArge v2?

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

AraBERT LArge v2 on the Intel Arc B580 12GB

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 134k 356.4-442.5 t/s ~31.3-38.8 (slow)
Q8 yes 140k 712.9-885 t/s ~62.5-77.6 (slow)
Q4 yes 142k 1273-1580.3 t/s ~111.7-138.6 (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 B580 12GB run AraBERT LArge v2?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~1273-1580.3 tok/s and fits up to 142k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~111.7-138.6 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 142k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
