It’s not being spelt out overtly, but there is a whiff of Intel’s new Battlemage GPUs being pitched as what the Alchemist generation should have been. Those eventually grew into their PCIe shoes, but only after months of dial-shifting driver updates – whereas the flagship B580 promises Nvidia-besting games performance from the off. Even at such a stage in the current graphics generation (the GeForce RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 could be revealed literally tonight, at CES 2025), there is something enticing about that proposition.

Intel Arc B580 Limited Edition specs:

• Xe Cores: 20
• Graphics clock: 2670MHz
• VRAM: 12GB GDDR6
• Power: 190W
• Recommended System Power: 600W
• Price: £300 / $260 (other Arc B580 models start at £270)

It helps, obviously, that the B580 isn’t…more
