According to online sources, video card manufacturers have begun distributing samples of Intel Arc B580 graphics accelerators to reviewers. The reviews are rumored to be out on December 12, so experts have plenty of time to test and evaluate the performance of the new video cards. The ASRock B580 Steel Legend accelerator was among the first to reach the authors of the YouTube channel FunkyIT, and they showed it live.

The graphics card was demonstrated during one of the recent live broadcasts. This contradicts the official embargo of the manufacturer, so the video was deleted shortly after publication. Despite this, some viewers of the broadcast managed to take screenshots that allow them to evaluate the appearance and dimensions of the device.
The ASRock Arc B580 graphics card looks exactly the same as the accelerator that appeared in the US Amazon segment a few days ago. It has a three-fan design and is 2.5 expansion slots thick. The blogger demonstrated a premium version of the accelerator, which will come with increased GPU frequencies due to factory overclocking to 2.8 GHz.
Unlike Intel’s Limited Edition and ASRock’s B580 Challenger, this graphics card comes with two 8-pin power connectors. The presence of an additional power connector suggests that the TDP of the video card is close to the limit of 150 W + 75 W (225 W).
After overclocking, the new product may require more power or optimization of power distribution. There is currently no official data regarding the TDP indicator of the new Arc B580 video cards.
The official presentation of new Intel video cards will take place on December 3.
