Battlemage GPUs must be getting close to launch. Another Intel Arc B580 showed up on Geekbench only a couple of months after the first suspected B580 appeared. Pair that with Intel’s plan ( back in January) to launch the discrete GPU line by the end of this year, and it’s beginning to look a lot like Chr- er, January 2025. We can hardly wait.

More Arc B580 leaks seemingly confirm the card will debut with 12GB of GDDR6, and we also get a look at possible retail pricing.

Confirms 20 Xe2-cores, 12GB of VRAM and 2.85GHz clock With the Intel B580 graphics card launch apparently just around the corner, it does not come as a surprise that we are now getting the first leaks from popular benchmarks.

Leak about packaging for Battlemage B580 is a hopeful hint the budget GPU we desperately need could arrive soon.

That's also confirmed by the specifications in the listing, which state the card is based on Intel's Xe2-HPG architecture. It's also revealed to feature 12GB of GDDR6 memory running at 19Gbps on a 192-bit memory bus, along with a GPU clock that's been goosed to 2.8GHz.

Intel’s next generation Battlemage desktop cards are slated to land before 2024 ends according to ZDNet Korea, but gaming might not be the GPU’s primary focus.
