Can the Intel Arc Pro B50 run PLLaMa?

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

PLLaMa on the Intel Arc Pro B50

Q8 yes 1k 10-12.4 t/s ~1.8-2.2 (slow)
Q4 yes 36k 17.8-22.2 t/s ~3.2-4 (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 PLLaMa?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~17.8-22.2 tok/s and fits up to 36k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~3.2-4 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 36k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
