Can the Intel Arc Pro B60 run GPT-2 (355M)?

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

GPT-2 (355M) on the Intel Arc Pro B60

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 303k 372.5-462.4 t/s ~32.7-40.6 (slow)
Q8 yes 309k 745-924.8 t/s ~65.4-81.1 (slow)
Q4 yes 311k 1330.4-1651.5 t/s ~116.7-144.9 (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 GPT-2 (355M)?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~1330.4-1651.5 tok/s and fits up to 311k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~116.7-144.9 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 311k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
