Q8 yes 46k 22.3-27.7 t/s ~1.5-1.8 (slow)
Q4 yes 73k 39.9-49.5 t/s ~2.6-3.3 (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 Nanbeige2-16B-Chat?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~39.9-49.5 tok/s and fits up to 73k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~2.6-3.3 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 73k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
