According to insider information, Intel Arc B580 and B570, as well as the new AMD Navi 44 outperform NVIDIA RTX 4060 Ti in synthetic benchmarks. Intel announced that its new video cards will be released shortly.
The informant Golden Pig Upgrade claims that Intel Arc B580 / B570 and AMD Navi 44 video cards can compete with RTX 4060 Ti. However, this does not necessarily mean they will beat the NVIDIA card in all scenarios, including gaming—much depends on the drivers, and previously Intel video cards have shown “jittery” performance.
Meanwhile, a leak from the manufacturer ASRock revealed the specifications of the Intel Arc B570 Challenger 10GB OC and Intel Arc B580 Steel Legend 12GB OC. The Arc B570 will have 144 processors, i.e., 18 Xe2 cores—compared to 20 cores in the B580. The junior video card will feature 10 GB of GDDR6 video memory on a 160-bit bus (12 GB 192-bit in B580). This means that the card will provide a maximum bandwidth of 380 GB/s, which is 16.7% less than the 456 GB/s in the B580.
Both video cards are connected via the PCIe 4.0 x8 interface and support DisplayPort 2.1. The GPU frequencies with factory overclocking are 2.6 GHz for the B570 and 2.8 GHz for the B580. The memory will have a speed of 19 Gbps.
On Twitter, Intel officially announced the release date of the video cards in a short teaser. Arc B570 and Arc B580 will be released on December 3, which is a Tuesday.
It is reported that the company will lift the embargo on reviews of the Intel Limited Edition video cards on December 12, and reviews of partner video cards will become available on December 13.
