Can the Intel Arc Pro B50 run Minitron 4B?

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

Minitron 4B on the Intel Arc Pro B50

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 74k 15.5-19.2 t/s ~2.8-3.4 (slow)
Q8 yes 138k 30.9-38.4 t/s ~5.5-6.9 (slow)
Q4 yes 166k 55.2-68.6 t/s ~9.9-12.2 (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 Minitron 4B?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~55.2-68.6 tok/s and fits up to 166k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~9.9-12.2 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 166k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
