Should You Buy Intel ARC PRO B70 GPU for Local AI? Gemma 4?
If you want to run AI models at home without spending a ton of money, the Intel Arc B70 Pro is worth a look. Most GPUs at this price point don't have enough VRAM to be useful, but this card actually gives you room to breathe. This intel GPU supports GLM 5.1, Qwen 3.5, and Gemma 4 and the results honestly surprised me. These are not small models, and the B70 Pro handles them without constantly hitting a wall. Token generation is fast enough to feel natural in conversation, which wasn't something I expected at this price. The software side has also come a long way. Getting everything set up through Ollama or LM Studio is pretty straightforward now, and Intel's driver support has improved a lot over the past year. Tell us what you think in the comments below!
