Intel Arc B570 specifications leak via board partner

Intel's Arc Battlemage GPUs are almost here, and a new leak has revealed the full specifications for the B580 and B570 models. Most of what we heard about the B580 seems correct, but the details on the B570 were still scarce, at least until now.

A leaked spec sheet for the ASRock Arc B570 Challenger OC shared by Gaw (via VideoCardz) reveals that the card will feature 144 XMX Engines and 18 Xe2-Cores, two fewer than the B580. More importantly, the B570 will pack 10 GB of GDDR6 memory across a 160-bit memory bus, delivering a maximum theoretical bandwidth of 380 GB/s. This is roughly 16.7% less bandwidth than the B580, which is expected to feature 12 GB of GDDR6 on a 192-bit bus.

Interestingly, the spec sheet mentions a PCIe 4.0 interface for the B580 and B570. This confirms the suspicions that the cards would use a PCIe x8 connection. Both cards will support DisplayPort 2.1 and HDMI 2.1, although the specific DisplayPort 2.1 standard remains unconfirmed. The leaked specifications also reveal factory overclocked speeds of 2.6 GHz for the B570 and 2.8 GHz for the B580, a significant increase compared to the previous generation.

Intel has officially announced that the Arc Battlemage series will be unveiled on December 3rd. While an official release date is still unknown, we expect the cards will be available starting December 12th or 13th. Regarding pricing, the first leaked listings suggest the B580 will cost around $250-260. As such, expect the B570 to cost less than that.

KitGuru says: Given the B570's leaked specs, how will it compare to the B580 and other entry-level gaming GPUs from Nvidia and AMD? What pricing would be appropriate for the B570?
