Can the Intel Arc Pro B50 run OpenELM-3B?

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

OpenELM-3B on the Intel Arc Pro B50

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 109k 21.4-26.5 t/s ~3.8-4.7 (slow)
Q8 yes 155k 42.7-53.1 t/s ~7.6-9.5 (slow)
Q4 yes 176k 76.3-94.7 t/s ~13.6-16.9 (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 OpenELM-3B?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~76.3-94.7 tok/s and fits up to 176k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~13.6-16.9 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 176k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
