Intel Arc Pro B60 for local LLMs
Written by Jakub Rusinowski · Last updated
With 24 GB of GDDR6 at 456 GB/s, the Intel Arc Pro B60 runs 109 catalogued models at Q4_K_M with 8K context. The largest that fits is Qwen 3 32B (~22.8 GB), and the top pick is Laguna XS 2.1 33B-A3B at 37–78 tok/s.
24 GB of GDDR6 on a 192-bit bus, 456 GB/s. Board power is a range by partner design (120-200 W); 200 W is the upper bound. Not the 32 GB Arc Pro B65 or B70. Runs through SYCL or Vulkan builds of llama.cpp.

Frequently asked questions
Can the Intel Arc Pro B60 run local LLMs?
Yes. With 24 GB (24 GB usable by a model) it runs 109 of the catalogued models at Q4_K_M with 8K context; the largest is Qwen 3 32B, needing about 22.8 GB.
How fast is the Intel Arc Pro B60 for AI inference?
It is estimated to run Llama 3.1 8B at 28–57 tok/s at Q4_K_M. Llama 3.3 70B does not fit: it needs about 44 GB against 24 GB usable. These are modelled estimates from memory bandwidth, not measurements; the methodology page shows the formula.
What LLMs can I run on 24 GB?
Among the best that fit: Laguna XS 2.1 33B-A3B, Granite 4.0 Small-H 32B-A9B, Olmo 3 32B, Nemotron-Cascade 2 30B-A3B, Gemma 4 31B.
