Intel is becoming a strong contender within the budget GPU market with the Arc B580, and its counterpart has taken it a step further.

Intel's Arc B580 graphics cards have been its best-reviewed to date, maintaining the aggressive pricing of the old A-series Arc cards with fewer driver bugs, fewer weird performance outliers, and fewer caveats all around.

Leaning hard on the cost-effective 1440p GPU for gamers, the ARC B570 has a high bar to reach to beat out other, more established GPUs in its target demographic.

The Intel Arc B570 is the kind of graphics card I desperately want to love, but my tech-addled PC gaming heart belongs to another. But the problem is that despite some impressive specs for a card this cheap,

A new Geekbench result suggests this Intel graphics card will be able to hold its own against the likes of the AMD Radeon RX 7600 XT.

It would be so much easier to recommend the Intel Arc B570 if it was a $199 card, rather than $219. At that price, it’d be 20% cheaper and a much better deal than the B580. Instead, when it comes to a pure value perspective, it’s a wash between the two graphics cards, but you’re going to feel the difference in more demanding PC games.

Intel isn't bowing out of the discrete GPU market anytime soon. With the success of the Intel Arc B580 it's going to continue to invest in gaming GPUs.
