Can the Intel Arc Pro B60 run Yi-1.5-9B?

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

Yi-1.5-9B on the Intel Arc Pro B60

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 22k 15-18.6 t/s ~1.3-1.6 (slow)
Q8 yes 90k 30-37.2 t/s ~2.6-3.3 (slow)
Q4 yes 119k 53.5-66.4 t/s ~4.7-5.8 (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 Yi-1.5-9B?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~53.5-66.4 tok/s and fits up to 119k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~4.7-5.8 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 119k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
