Can the Intel Arc Pro B50 run Qwen2.5-Coder (1.5B)?

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

Qwen2.5-Coder (1.5B) on the Intel Arc Pro B50

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 155k 42.2-52.4 t/s ~7.5-9.4 (slow)
Q8 yes 178k 84.4-104.7 t/s ~15.1-18.7 (slow)
Q4 yes 189k 150.6-187 t/s ~26.9-33.4 (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 Qwen2.5-Coder (1.5B)?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~150.6-187 tok/s and fits up to 189k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~26.9-33.4 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 189k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
