An earlier leak disclosed a lot about Intel's upcoming mid-range Arc B580 graphics card. This GPU, based on the Battlemage architecture, is expected to feature 12 GB of VRAM and 20 Xe cores, offering performance that rivals the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti. Recently, Videocardz and @momomo_us have revealed the final detail: its pricing.
Price Reveal
The Intel Arc B580 has been spotted online with a price tag of $250. This amount is for the "Limited Edition," which is Intel's reference design. While third-party manufacturers might set a higher price, it’s not likely to go beyond $300. Additionally, the availability of this card will be limited. It is also expected to be the most potent Battlemage desktop graphics card available, especially since the higher-end Arc B770 has been delayed indefinitely.
Competitive Edge
A price of $250 for performance similar to the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti is a fantastic offer, assuming it meets the performance expectations. At its launch, it will face competition from AMD’s RDNA 4-based Radeon RX 8000 GPUs. Intel and AMD have some time to secure their place in the mid-range GPU market before the release of Nvidia's RTX 50 series models expected next year.
