Can the Intel Arc Pro B70 run StableLM-2-1.6B?

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

StableLM-2-1.6B on the Intel Arc Pro B70

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 376k 107.2-133.1 t/s ~7.1-8.8 (slow)
Q8 yes 401k 214.4-266.2 t/s ~14.1-17.5 (slow)
Q4 yes 412k 382.9-475.4 t/s ~25.2-31.3 (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 StableLM-2-1.6B?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~382.9-475.4 tok/s and fits up to 412k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~25.2-31.3 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 412k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
