    Intel Arc B580 and B570 Desktop GPUs Launching December 3

    Intel’s Battlemage desktop graphics cards are set to arrive sooner than expected. According to Videocardz, the announcement is scheduled for December 3, with the actual launch happening on December 12. This date is also when reviews for the GPU are expected to start appearing. Nevertheless, as previously mentioned, the initial stock may not be great, and you might have to wait until 2025 to finally get one.

    Model Details

    The report indicates that only two models will be released at first: the Arc B580 and the Arc B570. Notably, the Arc B3xx and Arc B7xx variants are missing from this initial offering. Moore’s Law is Dead has suggested that the Arc B770 has been delayed indefinitely, and the Arc B380 might make its debut in 2025.

    Specifications and Pricing

    The Arc B580 has appeared on Geekbench with specs that include 12 GB of 19 Gbps VRAM on a 192-bit bus, featuring 20 Xe cores and a boost clock of 2.8 GHz. It is expected to retail for $250 upon launch and should compete closely with the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 Ti in terms of performance.

    As for the Arc B570, not much information is available. Last gen, the Arc A570M was exclusive to laptops, so it’s unclear what a desktop version might offer. However, it’s reasonable to speculate that it could be priced around $200 and come with approximately 8 GB of VRAM.

  • Intel Arc Battlemage GPU Debuts on Geekbench with 12 GB VRAM

    Intel Arc Battlemage GPU Debuts on Geekbench with 12 GB VRAM

    A new Intel desktop GPU has recently appeared on Geekbench for the first time. This marks the debut of the first Battlemage SKU on the benchmarking platform, where it achieved an impressive score of 97,943 points in the OpenCL test. This performance is comparable to that of the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 and the Intel Arc A770 desktop. Additionally, on the AMD side, it positions itself between the Radeon RX 7700 XT and the RX 7600 XT.

    GPU Specifications Unveiled

    Further investigation into the Linux kernel driver database using the GPU’s PCIe ID (E20B) indicates that it is built on Intel’s upcoming Battlemage architecture. There are five Battlemage SKUs listed, and based on their names, this GPU is likely the second strongest in this lineup. The testing was conducted with an Intel Core i7-13700K on a Z970 motherboard, complemented by 32 GB of DDR5-4800 RAM.

    Performance Details

    In terms of specifications, the GPU features 160 compute units (which corresponds to 20 Xe cores), includes 12 GB of VRAM, and can reach a maximum boost clock of 2,850 MHz. This is the inaugural appearance of a Battlemage desktop GPU on Geekbench, so it is expected that Intel will showcase it soon. While a CES 2025 launch may seem optimistic, Intel will likely be busy presenting Arrow Lake laptop chips, non-K Arrow Lake-S desktop chips, and various other products during that time.
