Intel’s next — and possibly last — desktop graphics cards will begin arriving in just 10 days. Right on cue, the company has announced the budget $249 Arc B580 and $219 Arc B570, shipping December 13th and January 16th, respectively, as the “best-in-class performance per dollar” options in the GPU market.

Powered by the new Xe2 "Battlemage" architecture and a new XeSS 2 frame generation feature, Intel's $249 Arc B580 is FINALLY bringing 1440p gaming to the masses.

Intel's second generation discrete Arc GPUs based on Battlemage are due to arrive in a couple of weeks and we've got the full scoop.

Overall, Intel is claiming that the B580 has the measure of the Nvidia RTX 4060 by 10% on average at 1440p while undercutting its $299 by $50. Intel is leaning into the memory advantage of its new cards for 1440p gaming in particular and with ray tracing enabled. After all, the RTX 4060 is a mere 8 GB card with a 128-bit memory bus.

Today, Intel has announced its new Battlemage GPUs and it claims to best both AMD and Nvidia at the $250 price point.

For now, however, we only know about two GPUs. The B580 is the card Intel is pushing right now, which arrives on December 13 for $249. Like the Arc A750 and A770, it will have a Limited Edition version created by Intel, as well as several board partner designs from brands like ASRock, Acer, and Sparkle.

Intel has finally announced the Intel Arc B580 and B570 next-generation graphics cards. Built on its 'Battlemage' architecture, they are both budget-friendly GPUs aimed at making PC gaming just a bit more accessible.
