Can the Intel Arc Pro B50 run AraBERT?

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

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 198k 590.5-733.1 t/s ~105.5-130.9 (slow)
Q8 yes 200k 1181.1-1466.2 t/s ~210.9-261.8 (slow)
Q4 yes 201k 2109.1-2618.2 t/s ~376.6-467.5 (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 Pro B50 run AraBERT?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~2109.1-2618.2 tok/s and fits up to 201k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~376.6-467.5 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 201k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
