When Intel debuted its first Arc video cards two years ago, I was more than a little skeptical. Could a company that famously gave up on its last major desktop GPU project in 2009 actually make a dent in a market dominated by NVIDIA and AMD?

While reviewers have showed the B580 doesn’t beat the 4060 and 7600 in every game, especially for gamers who still play at 1080p resolution, it does seem to pull ahead on averag

A new card with an Intel Arc B580 GPU has been spotted, and this one has a unique layout that runs a pair of M.2 SSDs at the same time.

The $250 Arc B580 Limited Edition GPU is selling out and receiving glowing reviews. It’s way too early to know if Intel has finally gained a foothold in the gaming card arena, but one thing is clear: Intel hit a nerve with gamers by delivering a quality midrange card at a lower-than-usual price.

It seems Intel has some work to do on Battemage’s Linux support as the B580 is much faster on Windows than on Linux, when normally it’s the other way around for Intel graphics.
