// RUN โ€” FITS

Can the Intel Arc Pro B50 run CLIP (ViT L/14@336px)?

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

CLIP (ViT L/14@336px) on the Intel Arc Pro B50

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 190k 175.6-217.9 t/s ~31.4-38.9 (slow)
Q8 yes 196k 351.1-435.9 t/s ~62.7-77.8 (slow)
Q4 yes 199k 627-778.4 t/s ~112-139 (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 CLIP (ViT L/14@336px)?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~627-778.4 tok/s and fits up to 199k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~112-139 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 199k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
