Can the Intel Arc Pro B70 run Minerva 3B?

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

Minerva 3B on the Intel Arc Pro B70

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 335k 58.8-73 t/s ~3.9-4.8 (slow)
Q8 yes 381k 117.5-145.9 t/s ~7.7-9.6 (slow)
Q4 yes 401k 209.9-260.6 t/s ~13.8-17.1 (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 Minerva 3B?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~209.9-260.6 tok/s and fits up to 401k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~13.8-17.1 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 401k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
