Can the Intel Arc Pro B60 run BLOOM-1.7B?

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

BLOOM-1.7B on the Intel Arc Pro B60

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 262k 77.8-96.6 t/s ~6.8-8.5 (slow)
Q8 yes 288k 155.6-193.1 t/s ~13.6-16.9 (slow)
Q4 yes 299k 277.8-344.9 t/s ~24.4-30.3 (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 B60 run BLOOM-1.7B?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~277.8-344.9 tok/s and fits up to 299k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~24.4-30.3 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 299k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
