Last Monday, the first images of this new generation were leaked via Amazon through the two models that ASRock plans to launch with 2 and 3 fans respectively and where all specifications.
Yesterday he appeared in Geek bench a performance test of the Intel Arc B580 with performance to be taken with a grain of salt and which, at first glance, does not seem to be a good option for the most demanding users. Intel launched the Intel Arc line two years ago at a lower than normal price compared to NVIDIA and AMD and despite that, it didn't go well at all.
With the Intel Arc B580 Battlemage, the guys from Intel want to follow the same pricing strategy and according to the latest leak, it will cost only $250.

Intel's second attempt to position itself in the graphics card market dominated with an iron fist by NVIDIA and with AMD with a minimal share of the pie, seems to follow the same pricing strategy.
This new generation uses Xe2-HPG Architecture to improve not only performance but also efficiency and includes, of course, improved support for ray tracing.
The success of the Intel Arc B580, like any graphics card or processor, depends not only on a good pricing strategy, but also on its performance and what the drivers are capable of offering.

Again, the source of this information comes from user X (Twitter) momomo_us who posted various price screenshots from various websites. But the most curious thing of all is that, as we can see in these images, we are talking about a limited edition. With this, it's unclear if this is a promotional launch release or if it's just a sales claim that goes nowhere.
What do we know about the Intel Arc B580
The Intel Arc B580 will reach the mid-range market, it has 12 GB GDDR6 video memory Yes 20 Xe2 cores. This means 4 GB less memory and 4 cores than the previous generation, figures that should be compensated with the new architecture because otherwise it makes no sense for Intel to embark on the path of efficiency instead of performance. are you done with the new ones? Core Ultra 200 Series.
Another aspect that also draws attention to this new generation of Intel graphics is that, for now, it seems that ASRock is the only manufacturer that wants to give Intel a new opportunity, at least based on the information that we know so far. Concerning the release date, if we continue this pace of leaks, it is likely that tomorrow or at most Monday we will know.
