Can the Intel Arc Pro B50 run ESM2-8M?

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

ESM2-8M on the Intel Arc Pro B50

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 201k 8120-10080 t/s ~1450-1800 (slow)
Q8 yes 202k 16240-20160 t/s ~2900-3600 (slow)
Q4 yes 202k 29000-36000 t/s ~5178.6-6428.6 (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 ESM2-8M?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~29000-36000 tok/s and fits up to 202k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~5178.6-6428.6 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 202k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
