Yes — the Arc Pro B70 32GB (32 GB GDDR6) can run Qwen3.5-9B. At Q4 with the default 8K context it needs ≈ 6.15 GB VRAM (weights 4.92 GB + KV cache 0.22 GB + 1 GB runtime overhead), which fits within 32 GB. Decode at Q4/8K: ≈ 43.2 tok/s (estimated, batch 1). FP16 (≈ 19.12 GB) also fits, at ≈ 11.9 tok/s (estimated). Estimates come from memory-bandwidth math; rows tagged measured override estimates. Relative ranking is more reliable than absolute tok/s. Methodology.

Fit & speed by quant and context

Quant	Context	VRAM needed	Fits?	tok/s (decode)
Q4	4K	6.03 GB	Yes	43.2 est.
Q4	8K default	6.15 GB	Yes	43.2 est.
Q4	32K	6.82 GB	Yes	43.2 est.
FP16	4K	19.01 GB	Yes	11.9 est.
FP16	8K default	19.12 GB	Yes	11.9 est.
FP16	32K	19.79 GB	Yes	11.9 est.

Fits = weights + KV(ctx) + 1 GB overhead ≤ 95% of VRAM. Measured anchors are context-agnostic; the fit verdict is recomputed per context. A missing tok/s means the model is far beyond this card (offload-only territory).
