Intel finally gets a GPU win, confirms Arc B580 sales after stellar reviews

Intel is having an incredibly bad year – but in the end, the company’s graphics card campaign has produced a card worth celebrating. Although we haven’t been able to review it ourselves due to a bug, the $250 Arc B580 GPU “Battlemage” launched to worldwide acclaim, is already selling out everywhere, and Intel is telling. The Verge works to ship new units every week.

“Demand for Arc B580 graphics cards is high and many retailers have sold out of their initial inventory. We expect weekly inventory of the Intel Arc B580 Limited Edition graphics card and are working with our partners to ensure a strong supply of options in the market,” said Intel spokesman Mark Anthony Ramirez. The Verge.

To give you an idea, here are some of the topics we’ve seen in reviews of this card:

While reviewers have shown the B580 this is not the case beat the 4060 and 7600 in every game, especially for gamers who still play at 1080p resolution, it seems to pull ahead on average, the drivers seem more mature than Intel’s previous efforts, and the low price and 12GB of open video RAM make up for it. easy to recommend.

If you can get one for $250, that is – which you probably can’t, because it sold out quickly. Right, Steve Walton of Hardware Unboxed does not consider that this is called a “paper launch” when the manufacturer sends a token number of bragging rights parts instead of mass producing the product; he said manufacturers, retailers and distributors told him the supply of cards was “too big.”
