Can the Intel Arc B580 12GB run MiniCPM-1.2B?

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

MiniCPM-1.2B on the Intel Arc B580 12GB

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 107k 106-131.6 t/s ~9.3-11.5 (slow)
Q8 yes 127k 212-263.2 t/s ~18.6-23.1 (slow)
Q4 yes 135k 378.6-470 t/s ~33.2-41.2 (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 MiniCPM-1.2B?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~378.6-470 tok/s and fits up to 135k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~33.2-41.2 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 135k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
