This model fits, but memory bandwidth is the part holding decode speed back.
Throughput will feel slow
Estimated decode speed is only 2.0 tok/s, so this is more of a technical fit than a comfortable daily-driver setup.
Runtime ecosystem is narrower than CUDA
Intel GPUs can look attractive on memory per dollar, but local AI tooling, kernels, and model coverage are still broader and easier on CUDA today.
Prioritize bandwidth, not only capacity
If this workload feels slow, the next useful step is often a GPU tier with materially faster memory bandwidth rather than only a small bump in capacity.
Prefer CUDA if you want the path of least resistance
If your goal is maximum runtime coverage, easier troubleshooting, and better support for new local AI releases, CUDA is usually still the safer upgrade path.

Yes, Intel Arc A770 16GB can run All MiniLM L6 v2 with a B grade (Runs well). Expected decode speed: 2.0 tok/s.
All MiniLM L6 v2 (0.023000000044703484B parameters) requires approximately 3.1 GB of memory with F16 quantization.
The recommended quantization for All MiniLM L6 v2 is F16, which balances quality and memory efficiency.
On Intel Arc A770 16GB, All MiniLM L6 v2 achieves approximately 2.0 tokens per second decode speed with a time-to-first-token of 96800ms using F16 quantization.
For coding workloads, All MiniLM L6 v2 on Intel Arc A770 16GB receives a B grade with 2.0 tok/s and 256 context.
On Intel Arc A770 16GB, All MiniLM L6 v2 can safely use up to 256 tokens of context. The model's official context limit is 256, but available memory constrains the safe maximum.
Prioritize bandwidth, not only capacity. If this workload feels slow, the next useful step is often a GPU tier with materially faster memory bandwidth rather than only a small bump in capacity.
Often yes, if your goal is the easiest setup and the widest runtime support. Intel can offer attractive memory capacity, but CUDA still tends to win on tooling maturity, guides, kernels, and model coverage for local AI.
