Can the Intel Arc Pro B70 run Llama 3.2 3B?

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

Llama 3.2 3B on the Intel Arc Pro B70

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 328k 54.9-68.2 t/s ~3.6-4.5 (slow)
Q8 yes 377k 109.9-136.4 t/s ~7.2-9 (slow)
Q4 yes 399k 196.2-243.5 t/s ~12.9-16 (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 Llama 3.2 3B?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~196.2-243.5 tok/s and fits up to 399k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~12.9-16 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 399k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
