We have leaked specs of the Intel Arc B570 GPU right before an official launch
Intel will launch a pair of new Arc Battlemage GPUs on Dec 3rd, 2024. I have confirmed leaks from a reliable source, @Roland Quandt Bluesky's account, regarding the specifications of the upcoming models. The two models set to be launched are the Arc B580 and the Arc B570. These specifications indicate advancements in GPU technology. I am eager to see how these new models perform in the market.
The leak discloses detailed dual-fan ASRock Arc B570 Challenger OC GPU specifications. It features 18 Xe2 cores and 10GB of GDDR6 VRAM on a 160-bit memory bus. The Intel Arc B570 chip is said to have an 8-pin PCIe power connector and a 2.6GHz GPU clock frequency. Additionally, it supports HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 2.1. These specifications indicate a powerful and versatile graphics card for users.
The Arc B580 GPU is expected to be more potent than its predecessor. According to a listing on Amazon shared by VideoCardz, it will feature 20 Xe2 cores, 12GB of GDDR6 VRAM, and a 192-bit memory bus. The clock frequency is projected to reach 2.8GHz. Additionally, it will come with an 8-pin PCIe power connector.
The Battlemage chips are crafted to rival affordable options like the Nvidia RTX 4060 Ti and AMD Radeon RX 7600. The leaked information does not confirm the pricing of Intel's latest GPUs. However, social media user @Momomo shared that the 'Limited Edition' B580 is priced at $250. This price point is lower than the $399 RTX 4060 Ti and $269 Radeon RX 7600. Consequently, Intel seems to be positioning its new GPUs competitively.
The new Intel GPUs promise significant performance improvements compared to the previous Arc Alchemist series. The B580 is expected to potentially outperform Nvidia's RTX 4060 Ti. In contrast, the B570 is anticipated to be a more budget-friendly option. Despite its lower price point, the B570 is still expected to deliver robust performance. These developments suggest a competitive landscape in the GPU market.
Intel's new Battlemage GPUs will be revealed on its YouTube channel on December 3rd at 9 AM ET.
