Can the Intel Arc Pro B70 run Qwen2.5 Instruct (7B)?
Yes — here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.
Qwen2.5 Instruct (7B) on the Intel Arc Pro B70
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | yes | 97k | 23.2-28.8 t/s | ~1.5-1.9 (slow) |
| Q8 | yes | 155k | 46.3-57.5 t/s | ~3-3.8 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 181k | 82.7-102.7 t/s | ~5.4-6.8 (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 Qwen2.5 Instruct (7B)?▶
Yes. At Q4 it generates ~82.7-102.7 tok/s and fits up to 181k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~5.4-6.8 tok/s.
How much context fits?▶
At Q4, up to about 181k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
