Can the Intel Arc Pro B70 run Pythia-410m?

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

Pythia-410m on the Intel Arc Pro B70

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 414k 430-533.9 t/s ~28.3-35.1 (slow)
Q8 yes 420k 860.1-1067.7 t/s ~56.6-70.2 (slow)
Q4 yes 423k 1535.9-1906.6 t/s ~101-125.4 (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 Pythia-410m?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~1535.9-1906.6 tok/s and fits up to 423k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~101-125.4 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 423k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
