Intel has confirmed its upcoming event for December 3rd, centered around its Arc GPUs, which will likely reveal the team’s desktop lineup, including the Arc B570 and B580. A leaked listing from French wholesaler 1foTrade shows the Arc B570 Battlemage GPU ahead of launch. The GPU features 10GB of GDDR6 memory, a 2.6 GHz maximum boost clock, and is expected to be priced around $200.
The leak reveals that the Arc B570 will be based on the BMG-G21 die, with its specifications differing from those of the more powerful Arc B580. The B580 boasts 20 Xe Cores, 12GB VRAM, and a 2.85 GHz boost clock. Both GPUs may surpass Nvidia’s RTX 4060 Ti in specific benchmarks, although real-world performance depends on drivers.
Intel is expected to unveil its Battlemage lineup of desktop GPUs on December 3rd, but the initial supply might be pushed back to accommodate the holiday season. The leak comes as more rumors have emerged about the Arc B580 and AMD’s upcoming budget cards.
The pricing strategy for the Arc B570 and B580 remains speculative, but with prices starting around $200, it could mark a significant entry point in the sub-$200 category for 10GB GPUs.
