The raw memory story may look fine, but the software ecosystem is still a constraint here.
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.
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 Pro B60 24GB can run Qwen 3.5 0.6B with a C grade (Runs well). Expected decode speed: 8.4 tok/s.
Qwen 3.5 0.6B (0.6000000238418579B parameters) requires approximately 4.5 GB of memory with Q4_K_M quantization.
The recommended quantization for Qwen 3.5 0.6B is Q4_K_M, which balances quality and memory efficiency.
On Intel Arc Pro B60 24GB, Qwen 3.5 0.6B achieves approximately 8.4 tokens per second decode speed with a time-to-first-token of 23048ms using Q4_K_M quantization.
For coding workloads, Qwen 3.5 0.6B on Intel Arc Pro B60 24GB receives a C grade with 8.4 tok/s and 131K context.
On Intel Arc Pro B60 24GB, Qwen 3.5 0.6B can safely use up to 131K tokens of context. The model's official context limit is 131K, but available memory constrains the safe maximum.
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.
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.
