Can the Intel Arc Pro B60 run Pythia-1.4b?

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

Pythia-1.4b on the Intel Arc Pro B60

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 271k 94.5-117.3 t/s ~8.3-10.3 (slow)
Q8 yes 293k 188.9-234.5 t/s ~16.6-20.6 (slow)
Q4 yes 302k 337.3-418.8 t/s ~29.6-36.7 (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 Pythia-1.4b?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~337.3-418.8 tok/s and fits up to 302k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~29.6-36.7 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 302k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
