Can the Intel Arc Pro B60 run Pythia-6.9b?

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

Pythia-6.9b on the Intel Arc Pro B60

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 52k 19.2-23.8 t/s ~1.7-2.1 (slow)
Q8 yes 104k 38.3-47.6 t/s ~3.4-4.2 (slow)
Q4 yes 128k 68.4-85 t/s ~6-7.5 (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 B60 run Pythia-6.9b?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~68.4-85 tok/s and fits up to 128k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~6-7.5 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 128k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
