While specific details about the cards are still emerging, leaked specifications suggest that the B580 will feature 20 Xe-Core compute units, 12GB of GDDR6 memory, and a 192-bit memory interface. The card is expected to require a single 8-pin PCIe power connector, indicating a relatively modest power draw.
The pricing of these new cards is a key factor in their potential success. Retailer leaks suggest that the B580 could be priced as low as $250, making it a compelling option for budget-conscious gamers.
The launch of these budget-friendly GPUs comes at a time when the market has been dominated by a few major players. Intel’s entry into the lower-end segment could introduce more competition and drive down prices for consumers.
With the release of the Arc B580 and B570, Intel aims to expand its presence in the GPU market and offer a wider range of options for PC gamers.
