Battlemage is right here – Intel simply introduced the primary two playing cards that use its new GPU structure. Since Intel makes use of letters as an alternative of numbers to indicate technology, say “hello” to the Intel Arc B580 and B570.
The B580 is priced at $250, the B570 is a bit cheaper at $220. Each are primarily based on the identical BMG-G21 chip, however use totally different bins. The B580 has 20 Xe2 cores and 12GB of VRAM (192-bit bus, 456GB/s), whereas the B570 has 18 Xe2 cores and 10GB of VRAM (160-bit bus, 380GB/s). The B570 additionally runs at decrease clocks and a decrease TDP (150W vs. 180W), however each are powered by a single 8-pin connector. Right here is the head-to-head comparability between the 2 playing cards.
Intel Arc B580 vs. B570
Maybe a extra vital comparability is with the outgoing Arc A750, which launched at $250 – the identical value because the Arc B580. Nevertheless, the B580 is 24% quicker on common in comparison with the outdated Intel card (examined at 1440p). The corporate’s personal testing reveals that it edges out the Nvidia RTX 4060 by a ten% margin and the Nvidia card is a bit pricier whereas having much less VRAM (8GB).
The brand new Xe2 structure up shut
The brand new Xe2 graphics structure appears promising – the BMG-G21 chip has 19.6 billion transistors, down from 21.7 billion on the ACM-G10 that was used for the A750. So, smaller chip, increased efficiency.

The Xe2 cores are 70% quicker at full tilt and extra environment friendly too, providing 50% increased efficiency per watt than the cores utilized in Intel’s first gen GPUs (Alchemist). Moreover, they’ve new X Matrix Extensions (XMX) AI engines, which speed up ray-tracing.
Intel Arc B580 Restricted Version
As of late the software program is simply as vital because the silicon, so Intel can be introducing XeSS 2. Along with tremendous decision (picture upscaling), model 2 options Body Era and Low Latency (these are solutions to Nvidia’s body gen and Reflex tech).
XeSS 2, now that includes body gen and low latency choices
F1 24 would be the first recreation to help XeSS 2, 9 others will help it “soon”:
Murderer’s Creed: Shadows
Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions
RoboCop: Rogue Metropolis
Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii
Dying Gentle 2 Keep Human
Ascendant
Marvel Rivals
Killing Ground 3
Citadels
Anyway, the Intel Arc B580 might be obtainable from December 13. There’s a B580 Restricted Version with twin followers. Acer, Asrock, Gunnir, Maxsun, Onix and Sparkle can even be releasing Battlemage playing cards. The cheaper Arc B570 is approaching January 16.
