Can the Intel Arc Pro B50 run Generative BST?

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

Generative BST on the Intel Arc Pro B50

FP16 no โ€” โ€” โ€”
Q8 yes 29k 13.8-17.1 t/s ~2.5-3.1 (slow)
Q4 yes 61k 24.6-30.5 t/s ~4.4-5.5 (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 Generative BST?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~24.6-30.5 tok/s and fits up to 61k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~4.4-5.5 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 61k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
