Intel launches Battlemage GPUs with $250 Arc B580 and $220 B570
Battlemage is here – Intel just announced the first two cards that use its new GPU architecture. Since Intel uses letters instead of numbers to denote generation, say “hello” to the Intel Arc B580 and B570. The B580 is priced at $250, the B570 is a bit cheaper at $220. Both are based on the same BMG-G21 chip, but use different bins. The B580 has 20 Xe2 cores and 12GB of VRAM (192-bit bus, 456GB/s), while the B570 has 18 Xe2 cores and 10GB of VRAM (160-bit bus, 380GB/s). The B570 also runs at lower clocks and a lower TDP (150W vs. 180W), but both are powered by a single 8-pin connector....
