Multilingual-E5-large on the Intel Arc Pro B70

FP16 yes 409k 314.9-390.9 t/s ~20.7-25.7 (slow)
Q8 yes 418k 629.7-781.7 t/s ~41.4-51.4 (slow)
Q4 yes 422k 1124.5-1395.9 t/s ~74-91.8 (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 Multilingual-E5-large?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~1124.5-1395.9 tok/s and fits up to 422k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~74-91.8 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 422k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
