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

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.

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.

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 first Battlemage GPU, the Arc B580, will be here before Xmas and it'll be 10% faster and $50 cheaper than the GeForce RTX 4060.

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.

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

The B580 is 24% faster than the old A750, which once held the $250 price spot. The company is also introducing XeSS 2. Battlemage is here – Intel
