Can the Intel Arc Pro B70 run Generative BST?

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

Generative BST on the Intel Arc Pro B70

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 69k 18.7-23.2 t/s ~1.2-1.5 (slow)
Q8 yes 141k 37.4-46.4 t/s ~2.5-3.1 (slow)
Q4 yes 173k 66.8-82.9 t/s ~4.4-5.5 (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 Generative BST?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~66.8-82.9 tok/s and fits up to 173k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~4.4-5.5 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 173k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
