Can the Intel Arc Pro B50 run Retrieval-Augmented Generator?

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

Retrieval-Augmented Generator on the Intel Arc Pro B50

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 183k 103.8-128.8 t/s ~18.5-23 (slow)
Q8 yes 192k 207.5-257.6 t/s ~37.1-46 (slow)
Q4 yes 196k 370.6-460.1 t/s ~66.2-82.2 (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 Retrieval-Augmented Generator?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~370.6-460.1 tok/s and fits up to 196k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~66.2-82.2 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 196k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
