Intel's Upcoming Arc B580 Leak

Intel's next-generation Battlemage GPU series is set to include the Arc B580, which has recently been leaked, providing tech enthusiasts with an early preview of what to expect. Amazon accidentally unveiled the ASRock Arc B580 Steel Legend graphics card, confirming important specifications and hinting at the arrival of new discrete GPU options. The Arc B580 will utilize Intel's Xe2-HPG architecture, boasting a factory overclocked speed of 2.8 GHz and 12 GB of GDDR6 memory clocked at 19 Gbps. Although the core count remains unknown, the product listing emphasizes its support for 8K resolution (7680 x 4320) and dual 8-pin power connectors. Two versions are anticipated: the Steel Legend, as seen on Amazon, and the Challenger, which has yet to be fully revealed.

The leak aligns with Intel's upcoming plans for the Battlemage series, as references to the Arc B-Series have been found in official Intel documentation, such as the "Intel oneAPI Math Kernel" and "Intel Platform Monitoring Technology" files. The Arc B580 is expected to lead the lineup, possibly accompanied by a slightly less powerful Arc B570 model. Intel appears to be targeting the mid-range market, aiming to provide a strong competitor to other GPUs in this segment. AMD is also focusing on the mid-range market with RDNA 4, setting the stage for an interesting battle in this category. With support pages for the B-Series already live and leaks becoming more frequent, an official announcement seems imminent—potentially within the next few days. It has been previously suggested that December will be the month of the Battlemage launch, stealing the spotlight from CES in January.
