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.

Vayra86Well the point of that bench comparison right there and the fact the Intel card runs away from the 4060 at 1440p tells you that the card IS indeed better suited and poised to not give you a 1080p midrange card anymore. Its not optimized around that level, while the 4060 apparently is... it falls apart above 1080p.
It has nothing to do with optimization, Alchemist architecture is flawed and can't get fully utilized without high workloads, meaning higher settings and resolutions. Battlemage will fix a lot of this, so it'll perform more like competition in all resolutions, not just 4K.

Alchemist needs 4K resolution for the architecture to fully shine. Even 1440p is not enough.

It goes from performing like 6600XT in 1080p to 4060 in 1440p to beating 7600 XT in 4K, and nipping at the heels of 3060 Ti.

Intel wants to sell cards? lots and lots of cards?

ONLY Thing they need to do is make a card, no need to be a nvidia competitor, just decent 3D acceleration, add 4 mini DP ports to it, and make it sr-iov capable, INCLUDING the god damn DP ports

If these boneheads would make a card, even a pure 2D only card, that can be partitioned into 4 pcie devices, each with their own working DP output, they would sell their damn cards, lots and lots of them.

They would sell like hotcakes, maybe sell better than ANY amd or nvidia gaming card.

But NO.

NO NO NO NO we can't have that. NO.
Even though it would be dead easy for them considering their sr-iov skills.

I can't understand why they are so stupid not to realize this

Why do you think this is a huge market?
