Intel Arc B580 GPUs are listed on Amazon following the announcement just days ago. We can’t validate the legitimacy of these listings, but the prices are much higher than Intel announced. Don’t get too excited; most listings explicitly say the product will be released on December 14th. So don’t expect this GPU to be delivered the next day. The full specifications seem to be correctly listed on Amazon, and the seller refers to itself as an ASUS and Intel-authorised partner.
The interesting thing about this post is that Intel slated its own GPUs to be released a day prior (December 13th). However, this could be about reference cards rather than AIBs, which is what WEELIAO likely is.
So, what does the Arc B580 promise?
At its $249 MSRP, the Arc B580 is positioned to rival Nvidia’s RTX 4060 and AMD’s RX 7600. Key specs include:
- 12GB of GDDR6 memory
- 192-bit bus width
- 2670 MHz boost clock (2800 MHz OC)
- Xe2 architecture with 20 Ray Tracing Units
- XeSS 2.0 support for upscaling and frame generation
Intel claims that the B580 delivers 19% better rasterization performance than the RX 7600 and 20% better ray tracing performance than the RTX 4060. At MSRP ($249), it’s a compelling choice for budget-conscious gamers looking for strong 1080p and 1440p performance.
What Should buyers do if you’re looking to pre order?
If you’re eyeing the B580, it’s wise to avoid overpaying through early listings. Official stock at MSRP will likely hit major retailers like Amazon, Newegg, and Micro Center on December 13th. Intel has historically focused on delivering value-oriented GPUs, so paying an inflated price now undermines the B580’s main selling point: affordability. Don’t just rush to buy because you think you’ll get the GPU sooner, as this probably isn’t the case.
Final word
The early, overpriced listings of the Arc B580 are a reminder to exercise patience with new tech launches. While it’s tempting to snag one early, waiting for official availability ensures you’re getting the card at its true value. With performance claims that rival Nvidia and AMD’s mid-range offerings, the Arc B580 looks set to splash in the GPU market—assuming that Intel and retailers can maintain fair pricing at launch.
