Can the Intel Arc Pro B70 run CausalLM 14B?

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

CausalLM 14B on the Intel Arc Pro B70

FP16 no โ€” โ€” โ€”
Q8 yes 81k 24-29.8 t/s ~1.6-2 (slow)
Q4 yes 120k 42.8-53.2 t/s ~2.8-3.5 (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 B70 run CausalLM 14B?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~42.8-53.2 tok/s and fits up to 120k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~2.8-3.5 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 120k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
