Intel to Announce Arc Battlemage on December 3rd, With Availability and Reviews Expected on December 12th
According to the latest information from Videocardz, the Intel Arc Battlemage announcement and launch could be closer than expected. The official announcement for two first SKUs, the Arc B580 and the Arc B570, is apparently scheduled for December 3rd, with availability and first reviews coming on December 12th.
Intel is expected to announce and launch two mid-range SKUs, the Arc B580 and the Arc B570, and has yet to give any information on the rest of the lineup, including higher-end as well as entry-level SKUs. The Arc B580 SKU has been leaked recently and is said to feature 20 Xe2-cores with a GPU clock of 2.8 GHz. The board comes with 12 GB of 19 Gbps GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit memory interface and needs two 8-pin power connectors. The price is said to be set at around $250, according to rumors and listings spotted earlier. The second SKU, the Arc B570, is rumored to pack 18 Xe2-cores, while the rest of the information is still unknown.
As detailed by Videocardz, the availability is expected on December 12th, and Intel plans to split the review embargo to its own Limited Edition versions for the same date and custom versions from its AIB partners for December 13th.

And if they fix rebar, performance and compatibility will improve further, because there are cases where it only works partially, hurting performance even on latest systems that support it.
The only problem with Battlemage is B580 is the highest end until ~Q2 of next year. This is likely why they have been so quiet about it - nothing to brag about.
Fun times, looking forward to seeing what they can do. :)
Launched:
A770 - around 4060 performance
A750
A580
A350
A310
To be launched:
B770 - possibly 4070 performance or better
B750
B580 - Dec 12
B570 - Dec 12
B350
B310
B770 will be lucky if it reach 3070 performance
Just dumping out hardware so it's sold with poor quality is not a long term strategy.
Currently, the a770 sits between the 3060ti & the 3070, according to the folks on YT that benchmark the a770 & the a750 every time there is a driver update.
Really looking forward to the Battlemage cards.
a few frames better or worse, depending on the windows game, windows version, processor, ram, windows patch level and driver version. basically in the same bracket - low entry card - do not buy because of low graphics memory or graphic chip. If you are into retrogaming for games around 2010-2017 go for those cards. Especially with screen resolutions from 2010.
Yes Raytracing may change some aspects for some consumers
