B580 might have lower performance than A580 on FluidX3D, which depends (like most HPC workloads) on memory bandwidth. The A-series really excelled at it, even surpassing 4070.I know this is a niche use, and most here would care about gaming, but I still think it is important.A770 A580 B580 4060 4070 560 GB/s 512 GB/s 456 GB/s 272 GB/s 504 GB/s 20 TFLOP/s 12 TFLOP/s 14 TFLOP/s 15 TFLOP/s 15 TFLOP/s
B580/B570 cards have the right placement and can get good market share.
B770/B750 cards will compete with not-yet-estimated rivals.
Intel Arc A580 - 10.5 TFLOPS
GeForce RTX 4070 - 29.1 TFLOPS

ILL Intel Battlemage is good for AI and modern games with RT + XeSS(FSR) + FG, when 8 GB VRAM is not enough.Last edited by Svyatko; 03 December 2024, 04:13 PM.

These are actually quite interesting to me. The B580 might perform reasonably close to my RX 6700 XT, but with way better ray tracing performance and officially supported GPU compute. For a $250 launch MSRP that's pretty compelling.
The driver situation should be quite a bit better than the Alchemist launch (although still not nearly as good as AMD / NVIDIA). But the looming specter of Intel's financial situation leading them to abandon product lines like this will probably keep most people away. I hope the lure of enterprise GPU compute margins keeps them in the game.
My big question, does Battlemage require ReBAR / SAM to be useful in gaming, or did they improve the memory controller?

Also, I miss power connectors being at the ends of cards, especially the workstation card setup with them being on the true side edge instead of the top.Last edited by pWe00Iri3e7Z9lHOX2Qx; 03 December 2024, 04:49 PM.

So cool!
I'll be getting first in line to upgrade the A770-16GB to B580-12GB, especially considering the great stability & upgrade path of compute / media, i915/Xe driver functions, the first class LINUX settings / configuration / sensor monitoring & board control GUI / CLI / API support that works JUST LIKE IGCL + ARC Control CENTER for MSWindows, industry leading LINUX power management, et. al.!

Intel GPUs are working great for me. They have made significant progress with Linux (and Windows) drivers based on my experience with A770 and A580. I would just buy the new B580 for the right price. I hope they improved their power requirements though. Both A770 and A580 use more power than AMD and Nvidia for similar performance.
