Can the Intel Arc Pro B70 run ESM2-650M?

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

ESM2-650M on the Intel Arc Pro B70

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 406k 271.3-336.7 t/s ~17.8-22.2 (slow)
Q8 yes 416k 542.5-673.5 t/s ~35.7-44.3 (slow)
Q4 yes 421k 968.8-1202.6 t/s ~63.7-79.1 (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 ESM2-650M?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~968.8-1202.6 tok/s and fits up to 421k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~63.7-79.1 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 421k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
