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.

After months of rumors and leaks, Intel made it official today: The next generation of its gaming GPUs is here. The chipmaker announced the Intel Arc B580 and B570 graphics chips (codenamed Battlemage) for $249 and $219,

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.

The Intel Arc B580 will be available starting December 13th for $250, while the Arc B570 will come a bit later, on January 16th, for $220.

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.

The lid has been lifted on the Intel Arc B580 and B570, the first desktop Battlemage graphics cards, and they undercut Nvidia and AMD.

Intel’s Arc Battlemage lineup includes the B580 and B570 with up to 12 GB of memory for budget-conscious gamers.

Intel announces its newest GPUs, the Intel Arc B580 and Arc B570, with pricing and specs that might make them fantastic 1440p cards on a budget.

Intel Arc tore back the curtain to reveal new Battlemage GPU units designed to bring powerful 1440p performance without the hefty price tag.

Intel is expected to release a pair of entry-level Battlemage GPUs this week, and now marketing materials posted by reliable leaker Roland Quandt show what we might see from the lower-specced Arc B570.
