Can I Run Qwen3-Coder-Next (80B-A3B MoE) on Intel Arc B570?
Written by Jakub Rusinowski · Last updated September 29, 2026
No. Qwen3-Coder-Next (80B-A3B MoE) needs 51.6 GB at 8K context (48.3 GB weights + 3.3 GB KV cache/overhead) at Q4_K_M and the Intel Arc B570 has only 10 GB. No quantization we publish closes a gap that size.

Qwen3-Coder-Next (80B-A3B MoE) on the Intel Arc B570: VRAM by quantization

Assumes an 8K-token context with an f16 KV cache, on an estimated architecture — this model publishes no config we can read. A longer window needs more; a quantized KV cache needs less. “Max context” is the largest window that still fits in 10 GB. Figures are estimates from parameter count, quantization and memory bandwidth — the analyzer lets you tune KV-cache quant and context.
Context costs VRAM too. At Q4_K_M on the Intel Arc B570: 8K 51.6 GB ✗ · 32K 59 GB ✗ · 128K 88.8 GB ✗. Past 8K it no longer fits 10 GB — a q8_0 KV cache buys roughly half of that back, which the calculator will price for you.
What to do next
Either step down to a smaller size in this family, or move to a NVIDIA RTX PRO 5000 Blackwell (72 GB) (72 GB), the card with the least memory we track that holds it.
No compatible GPU? Qwen3-Coder-Next (80B-A3B MoE) on 96 GB of system RAM, CPU only: runs.
Qwen3-Coder-Next (80B-A3B MoE) needs ~52 GB but this GPU has 10 GB. Rent a A100 (80 GB)-class GPU by the hour instead of buying one:
