The MSRPs

Using the average frame rate data presented earlier in the review, here we look at the cost per frame using the US MSRP launch prices for each GPU.

In terms of cost per frame, we'll start using the US MSRP given there's no official UK MSRP for the B570. What we can see is a value proposition that's very similar to the B580 – the B570 is 12% cheaper and 13% slower. That sounds reasonable enough, and it is still right at the top of the chart, but I think Intel needs to be a bit more aggressive with the B570's pricing. We'd expect better value at the lower price tier, and we have to remember the B570 has 2GB less VRAM.

Current retail pricing (GBP)

Things look worse when we compare current retail pricing, this time in GBP. Right now, the B570 cannot be found for pre-order for less than £250, which is simply too much. It makes the value proposition worse than the RX 7600 and RTX 4060 which I really don't think is a position Intel can compete from.
