Intel is expected to release a pair of entry-level Battlemage GPUs this week, and now marketing materials posted by reliable leaker Roland Quandt show what we might see from the lower-specced Arc B570.

Intel has officially confirmed that there’s a big Arc GPU announcement tomorrow, on December 3, which surely must be Battlemage, as rumors have already suggested – and we’ve caught some leaked specs for the purported Arc B570 graphics card, too.

Intel’s next — and possibly last — desktop graphics cards will begin arriving in just 10 days. Right on cue, the company has announced the budget $249 Arc B580 and $219 Arc B570, shipping December 13th and January 16th, respectively, as the “best-in-class performance per dollar” options in the GPU market.

On the other hand, Intel's Core Ultra 200V series (Lunar Lake), uses the same GPU technology for its integrated graphics (albeit stripped down to save power), and Intel's integrated GPUs technically dominate the market; XeSS 2 will run on Lunar Lake, which could be a big incentive for developers to support it.

Intel has finally announced the Intel Arc B580 and B570 next-generation graphics cards. Built on its 'Battlemage' architecture, they are both budget-friendly GPUs aimed at making PC gaming just a bit more accessible.

Intel has announced their next-gen GPUs, and the specs are promising with features like 1440p visuals, XeSS 2 sampling, and XMX AI acceleration.

Spec sheets for the ASRock Intel Arc B570 Challenger 10GB OC and ASRock Intel Arc B580 Steel Legend 12GB OC point to two Battlemage GPUs coming.
