As part of the Battlemage series, Intel has so far presented only two video cards – Arc B580 and Arc B570. Both are equipped with a BMG-G21 GPU, but with a different number of processing cores. The older model chip, which went on sale today, contains 20 cores on the Xe2 architecture (2560 shader engines), 160 texture units, 80 rasterization units, 160 tensor cores and 20 cores for second-generation ray tracing. The card is equipped with 12 GB of GDDR6 memory with support for a 192-bit bus and a bandwidth of 456 GB/s. The more affordable Arc B570 GPU has 18 Xe2 cores, and the card itself will only offer 10GB of GDDR6 memory. The Arc B570 will go on sale on January 16, 2025.

Overall, reviewers really liked the Arc B580. The card demonstrates higher performance in both raster graphics and ray tracing compared to its direct competitor, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060. At the same time, the Intel solution offers twice as much memory and is more affordable.
