Can the Intel Arc Pro B70 run Granite 3.0 8B?

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

Granite 3.0 8B on the Intel Arc Pro B70

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 90k 21.8-27 t/s ~1.4-1.8 (slow)
Q8 yes 151k 43.5-54 t/s ~2.9-3.6 (slow)
Q4 yes 179k 77.7-96.5 t/s ~5.1-6.3 (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 Granite 3.0 8B?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~77.7-96.5 tok/s and fits up to 179k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~5.1-6.3 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 179k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
