Can the Intel Arc Pro B60 run StarCoder 2 7B?

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

StarCoder 2 7B on the Intel Arc Pro B60

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 50k 18.9-23.5 t/s ~1.7-2.1 (slow)
Q8 yes 104k 37.8-46.9 t/s ~3.3-4.1 (slow)
Q4 yes 127k 67.5-83.8 t/s ~5.9-7.3 (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 StarCoder 2 7B?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~67.5-83.8 tok/s and fits up to 127k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~5.9-7.3 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 127k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
