Can the Intel Arc Pro B50 run BART-large?

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

BART-large on the Intel Arc Pro B50

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 189k 159.9-198.5 t/s ~28.6-35.4 (slow)
Q8 yes 196k 319.8-397 t/s ~57.1-70.9 (slow)
Q4 yes 198k 571-708.9 t/s ~102-126.6 (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 Pro B50 run BART-large?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~571-708.9 tok/s and fits up to 198k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~102-126.6 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 198k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
