Intel Arc B570 GPU Specs Drop Just Ahead of Highly Anticipated Launch!

In an exciting twist just days before its official debut, Intel is gearing up to unveil its new entry-level Battlemage GPUs, with fresh leaks revealing tantalizing specifications for the Arc B570. Industry insider Roland Quandt has released marketing materials that unveil details about the ASRock Arc B570 Challenger OC GPU. This upcoming chip is rumored to boast 18 Xe2 cores and a generous 10GB of GDDR6 VRAM, all running on a 160-bit memory bus—promising to deliver solid performance for budget-conscious gamers.

Furthermore, the leaked information hints that the Arc B570 will be equipped with an 8-pin PCIe power connector and capable of achieving a clock speed of up to 2.6GHz. Gamers will also enjoy connectivity options, including HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 2.1, ensuring compatibility with the latest displays and high-resolution gaming experiences.

But wait, there’s more! Speculations about the slightly upgraded Arc B580 GPU have surfaced as well, with early listings indicating that it could come packed with 20 Xe2 cores and 12GB of GDDR6 VRAM on a broader 192-bit memory bus. The Arc B580 may potentially clock in at an impressive 2.8GHz, also sporting an 8-pin PCIe power connector.

When pitted against other contenders in the mid-range segment, such as the Nvidia RTX 4060 Ti and the AMD Radeon RX 7600, Intel's Battlemage chips appear to be strategically crafted to offer competitive alternatives for gamers seeking value. A leak from Twitter user @Momomo_us revealed that Intel's "Limited Edition" B580 card could retail at an attractive price point of $250, which is significantly lower than the $399 price tag of the RTX 4060 Ti and the $269 for the RX 7600.

Mark your calendars! Intel promises to unveil these exciting new Battlemage GPUs on December 3rd at 9 AM ET during a live announcement on its YouTube channel—don't miss it! Will these new chips change the game for affordable graphics cards? Stay tuned for the latest updates!
