Can the Intel Arc Pro B50 run XLM-RoBERTa?

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

XLM-RoBERTa on the Intel Arc Pro B50

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 185k 118.1-146.6 t/s ~21.1-26.2 (slow)
Q8 yes 193k 236.2-293.2 t/s ~42.2-52.4 (slow)
Q4 yes 197k 421.8-523.6 t/s ~75.3-93.5 (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 XLM-RoBERTa?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~421.8-523.6 tok/s and fits up to 197k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~75.3-93.5 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 197k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
