Intel's upcoming Arc "Battlemage" graphics card lineup has been revealed in a recent ASRock specification sheet leak. The leak showcases the company's latest products for the discrete GPU market, including two models: the B580 and B570.
The B580, positioned as the flagship model, features 20 Xe2-Cores and comes with 12 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit interface, capable of reaching bandwidth speeds of up to 456 GB/s. Its counterpart, the B570, sports 18 Xe2-Cores and 10 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 160-bit interface, delivering 380 GB/s bandwidth. Both cards will be factory-overclocked, with the B580 reaching speeds of 2.8 GHz and the B570 hitting 2.6 GHz.
These new graphics cards are designed to operate on a PCIe 4.0 x8 interface and will support modern display standards such as DisplayPort 2.1 and HDMI 2.1. Intel has set the official unveiling of the Battlemage series for December 3, with cards expected to be available for purchase on December 12.
While the pricing for the B570 remains unknown, the rumored $249 price tag for the B580 suggests that Intel is aiming to compete in the mid-range market segment. This aggressive pricing strategy, along with the card's impressive specifications, demonstrates Intel's commitment to establishing itself as a serious contender in the discrete GPU market, currently dominated by NVIDIA and AMD.
