Intel Arc B580 outperforms A580 by up to 30% in Geekbench

The first Intel Arc B580 benchmark leaks are beginning to surface, showing a decent uplift in performance compared to its predecessor. 

Reviewers have apparently begun testing the B580, and early Geekbench results suggest that Intel's latest offering could shake up the entry-level segment. While Geekbench isn't the ideal benchmark for gaming GPUs, it provides a glimpse into the B580's raw performance.

In Geekbench's OpenCL test shared by Benchleaks, the B580 achieved a score of 98,343 points, while the Vulkan test yielded a score of 103,445. This places it comfortably between the RTX 4060 and the AMD Radeon RX 7600 XT, showcasing a significant performance leap over the previous generation. Moreover, the B580 outperforms its predecessor by 9% to 30%, depending on the benchmark.

Intel's aggressive pricing strategy further strengthens the B580's appeal. With an MSRP of $249, it undercuts both the RTX 4060 and RX 7600 XT. This could make the B580 a compelling option for budget-conscious gamers seeking strong performance without breaking the bank.

Adding to the excitement, some buyers have already gotten their hands on the B580 before its official launch on December 13th. There are examples all over the r/IntelArc, including a Sparkle B580 Titan, an ASRock B580 Challenger, and an ASRock B580 Steel Legend.
