Can the Intel Arc 140V run Gemma 3 27B?
Yes, with 32 GB or more. Gemma 3 27B needs about 19 GB and the Intel Arc 140V with 32 GB of system memory leaves about 19 GB for models. Expect about 4 tok/s, slow, but it works. The 16 GB version doesn't have room.

- 32 GB (about 19 GB usable)Slow ~4 tok/s
Speed comes from memory bandwidth: the card reads all 17 GB of active weights for every token. On the Intel Arc 140V, gpt-oss 20B runs at about 24 tok/s if you can trade some quality for speed. Cards that run Gemma 3 27B faster:
Speed is roughly memory bandwidth divided by the weights read per token, calibrated on our own rack. Sizes are Ollama's default 4-bit downloads plus about 1.2 GB for context. Real results are usually within about a third. Measured it yourself? Send us the number.
