Can the Intel Arc Pro B60 run DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-1.5B?

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

DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-1.5B on the Intel Arc Pro B60

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 260k 74.3-92.2 t/s ~6.5-8.1 (slow)
Q8 yes 287k 148.6-184.4 t/s ~13-16.2 (slow)
Q4 yes 299k 265.3-329.4 t/s ~23.3-28.9 (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 DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-1.5B?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~265.3-329.4 tok/s and fits up to 299k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~23.3-28.9 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.
