Intel Arc B570 arrived to reviewers a month before sales began

Profile media began to receive samples of the junior video card of the Intel Battlemage series – Arc B570. Let us remind you that the new product will go on sale only on January 16, and its reviews will be published a day earlier. Reviewers will have almost a whole month to prepare materials.

The Arc B580 video card, which recently went on sale, received rave reviews in the press, calling it the best option for its price. At $250, it offers higher levels of performance in both raster graphics and ray tracing compared to the more expensive GeForce RTX 4060.

HardwareLuxx editor Andreas Schilling shared on his page on social network X a photo of the Arc B580’s younger sister, the Arc B570 Challenger video card from ASRock. He did not provide any additional information about the card. It is only known that a HardwareLuxx representative received a version of the accelerator with factory overclocked GPU.

The Arc B570 uses a BGM-21 GPU with 18 Xe2 cores (2304 shader units), 144 texture units, 80 rasterization units, 144 tensor cores and 18 RT cores for ray tracing. The card received 10 GB of GDDR6 memory with support for a 160-bit bus and a bandwidth of 380 GB/s. The power consumption of the new product in the standard version is 150 W. Intel priced the card at $219.
