Can the Intel Arc Pro B70 run Minerva 7B?

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

Minerva 7B on the Intel Arc Pro B70

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 100k 23.8-29.6 t/s ~1.6-1.9 (slow)
Q8 yes 157k 47.7-59.2 t/s ~3.1-3.9 (slow)
Q4 yes 182k 85.1-105.6 t/s ~5.6-6.9 (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 7B?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~85.1-105.6 tok/s and fits up to 182k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~5.6-6.9 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 182k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
