DUAL INTEL ARC PRO B70 GPUS AT $1,900 RUN QWEN 3 CODER 30B AT 268 TOKENS PER SECOND VIA VLLM ON 8 CONCURRENT REQUESTS, A NEW INTEL TIER UNDER YOUR MAP THAT BEATS RTX 3090 STACKS ON THROUGHPUT PER DOLLAR 02:22 the operator reads off his benchmark sheet, "vllm... was at 268 tokens per second which is just wild to me, getting 250+ tokens per second out of these overall kind of slow Intel cards" dual Intel Arc Pro B70 ships at $950 per card, 32GB GDDR6 each, 64GB combined VRAM for $1,900 total, the same budget gets you two used RTX 3090s at 48GB combined and worse multi-user throughput Qwen 3 coder 30B on dual B70 with vLLM hits 268 t/s at 8 concurrent users, llama.cpp tops out at 84 t/s on the same hardware, the gap is not 2x or 3x, vLLM with Intel's tweaks pulls 3.2x on parallel inference prefill on a 16,000 word context took 26 seconds on llama.cpp and 3 seconds on vLLM, agents spawning subagents or households sharing one box turn that 8x speedup into 250 t/s of usable throughput your map skips Intel because the Arc cards looked weak in 2025, the B70 plus the vLLM stack flipped that, $1,900 in dual Intel silicon now serves a 4 person team at the speed openai serves enterprise tiers for $400 a month per seat bookmark this and read the article belowshow more
