Late last night, the Intel Arc B580 and Arc B570 graphics cards were finally officially launched after months of speculation and rumors that they would be canceled. Both graphics cards use the Xe2 Battlemage GPU architecture used in the Lunar Lake chips.
The difference lies in the graphics cores that have been improved by twice, up to 12GB of memory and up to 190W of power. According to Intel, this allows it to be used for video game sessions and also run various artificial intelligence (AI) tasks. Through the included XeSS 2 feature, the Arc B series graphics cards can increase frame rates by up to 3.9x and resolutions using artificial intelligence.
Intel added that the Arc B series provides an increase of up to 70% better per Xe core and 50% better per watt. The B580 GPU is between 24-78% faster than the Intel Arc A750 at 1440p resolution.
The Intel Arc B580 graphics card will be released by Acer, ASRock, GUNNIR, ONIX Technology, MAXSUN and Sparkle starting December 13th at a starting price of $249 (~RM 1112) each. Meanwhile, the Intel Arc B570 graphics card will be sold starting January 16th at a starting price of $219 (~RM 978).
