According to the leaks, they will introduce the B570 and B580 models, which will be released this year.
It’s been two years since Intel entered the Arc graphics card market with the Alchemist architecture. The release itself was not entirely rosy; the cards encountered a number of problems, especially at the driver level. And while they’re still not perfect, they’ve improved a lot over time. In addition, even the first generation of Arc boasted solid ray tracing performance and its own XeSS upscaling, which can also be used in a slightly worse form on cards from other manufacturers.
The second generation to bear this label Battle Mageso we had to wait quite a long time, but it looks like it has finally arrived. Intel shared a short teaser on Twitter today that teases Tuesday December 3. It is on this day that he should announce new cards.
However, the Battlemage architecture is already on the market in some form, namely in Lunar Lake laptop processors, where it is labeled only as Xe2. Thanks to this, we already know that it brings quite a significant performance boost and outperforms AMD’s competing RDNA 3.5 in many games. Therefore, we can assume that we will see similar growth on desktop computers.
And what kind of cards will be presented? We don’t know officially, but thanks to leaks it’s almost certain. The model was listed on Amazon a few days ago. Arc B580those. direct successor to the A580, which is supposed to be launched 20 Xe2 cores @ 2.8 GHz, 12 GB GDDR6 video memory and throughput 456 GB/s. According to new information, a slightly stripped-down model will be available in the first wave. B570. Cards must Aim for performance roughly on par with the RTX 4060 Ti from nvidia.
According to Videocardz magazine, the actual release should take place before Christmas, namely December 12. However, it is not yet clear what will happen to the older models in the form of the B770, we know almost nothing about them, and some insiders mention that Intel may have canceled them completely or at least significantly delayed them. At the same time, Intel will face serious competition as new graphics cards from AMD and Nvidia are expected to be unveiled at CES in January.
