Can the Intel Arc Pro B70 run Gemma 3 QAT 27B?

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

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 Gemma 3 QAT 27B?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~23.3-29 tok/s and fits up to 49k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~1.5-1.9 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 49k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
