Can the Intel Arc B580 12GB run MiniCPM-2.4B?

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

MiniCPM-2.4B on the Intel Arc B580 12GB

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 71k 54.2-67.2 t/s ~4.8-5.9 (slow)
Q8 yes 108k 108.3-134.4 t/s ~9.5-11.8 (slow)
Q4 yes 125k 193.4-240.1 t/s ~17-21.1 (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-2.4B?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~193.4-240.1 tok/s and fits up to 125k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~17-21.1 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 125k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
