Arc B580 from Intel has been distributed, as the video card developed since 2022, it seems that Intel is serious enough to get into this market which is "occupied" mostly by Nvidia. Yes expect the best alternative GPU for many gamers who can't afford mid range product which is too expensive, or also over price.
The first appearance of the product was "marked" by tweet from josefk972, where he managed to leak the information about this Intel GPU.
Arc B580 is not the only one apparently based on Battlemage architecture, and expect variation with big Vram that should accommodate latest AAA games.
Update: since the Intel Arc B580 is already released then see closer about such graphics card for the technical term.
Placed as a gpu made for the performance, then you can rely this for gaming, with memory size large enough to beat the like of RTX 4060 with its 8GB size. After all Arc B580 is made to compete with this RTX 4060 considering the price and total performance.
The issue is, if you still concern about power consumption, is definitely the max TDP with 190W which is ridiculously similar with RX 580, so beside the name, they apparently share the another common thing.
Of course RTX 4060 wins in this case since its power consumption is below that. That said, for gamers who prefer price per performance then Arc B580 is a definite answer, meanwhile RTX 4060 wins watt per performance in this specific case.
Just released last December, definitely Intel was all out about this video card, and turned out it was so popular.
Now let's go into Nvidia Blackwell, and the rumor about its "appearance" for the next year, and definitely many gamers can't wait to see the performance from latest series from RTX 5000.
The production of RTX 4070 is already stopped, where it followed the step of 4080 super and also RTX 4090.
The same thing should happen with the super edition still with the same reason.
After all end of year should be the moment of each manufacturer to prepare their new line up especially for Friday and of course the long holiday in December.
