Dawid tested the B580 against the 4060. He gets spicy about Intel removing recording, streaming, and screen capture, which I agree with. The "Is this real life" part of the video is he concludes by talking about the driver issues he had with Nvidia. Go back and watch the video where GN tests the A380 they bought from China. Ask yourself if at the time, you would have bet that by mid 2025 there would be comparisons where Nvidia was the one with driver issues, not Intel. It's a mad world.
I have finally acquired an Intel B580 reference card. I already installed it and ran a few benchmarks in Linux. Results seem OK but I don't game in Linux so that's a pointless test. I really like the design and size of the card. Very simple look.
I should have time to boot into Windows and test it further by actually playing games tomorrow. Mainly with older games.

XeSS is now in over 200 games. That's especially good news for integrated and mobile owners. https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-com...0-new-games-xess-surpasses-200-game-milestone
A follow-up with my testing in Windows
My display was over scanned out of the box but I managed to fix it by toggling the display scaling to GPU scaling. Probably more a display issue, though I didn't have that problem with AMD or Nvidia GPUs.
The games I played today all worked fine, no artifacts noticed or crashes.
One game (Civilization V) had problems switching to full-screen mode at first but after I restarted the game it was fine.
And a bonus Windows benchmark result:

The Skinny kid does an all Intel build with the B570 this time. If going skt1700 I'd have used the 12600KF and overclocked since the 1440f is basically a crappier version of it. He kept hitting the save as much money as possible point, but B chipset would have been the better value. He talked about adding a 14th i7 in a couple of years used which made me lol for obvious reasons.
It makes zero sense IMO to use Intel for the platform though. 7500F+B650 is same money and better in every way. If settling for DD4 buy used AM4 or Alder Lake. With what is available here at the moment online, I'd pay the extra $30 for the Onix B580 too.
He had an issue with the last of us 2 early on. I think it was just background shader comp or something as turning on and off e-cores it ran fine both ways after the restart.

there is yet hope for a B770 to reach the market

Intel's Arc "Battlemage" B770 Expected Next Quarter, Possible Details at Computex 2025
Intel appears ready to broaden its Arc "Battlemage" lineup with a new, more powerful desktop graphics card likely to be called the Arc B770, potentially arriving as soon as next quarter. Until now, Team Blue has introduced only two Xe2 Battlemage models, the B570 (10 GB) and B580 (12 GB), both...

Must be a skeleton crew at this point; recording, streaming, and screenshots got axed. Now Deep Link. https://www.pcguide.com/news/intel-ends-development-and-support-for-its-deep-link-technology/
If you want to do anything other than play games, it seems like the messaging is - You are on your own, good luck. Removes one of the incentives to do an all Intel build too.

XeSS seems to still be adequately supported as its games library keeps growing. We're also hearing reports of the G31 coming up in shipping manifestos which brought back the possibility of the B770 getting a release after all. Looke like Nvidia's Blackwell "failure" brought back some hope for that chip.
To be honest, it looks like those Deep Link technologies were aimed mostly at laptops that would have Intel CPU/SoC with Intel dGPU that would benefit from a smart-ish load balancing between iGPU and dGPU on a tight power budget.
Considering the number of said laptops with a dGPU is zero after nearly 3 years of Arc GPUs on the market, the A770M only ever appeared in an Intel NUC and there's apparently no mobile version of the B580 anywhere, it doesn't sound unreasonable that they would axe this software suite.

Apparently, the Intel card acquits itself quite well in the new Doom game, which requires ray tracing by default, otherwise won't run.
"Last among the cheap n' cheerfuls, Intel’s Arc B580 scored 56fps at native 1080p on Ultra Nightmare, and that was without any cutting-edge early drivers."

Doom: The Dark Ages doesn’t run badly on PC, but enforced ray tracing slows the pace
Can it run Doom? The Dark Ages? Find out as we test the shooter sequel's PC performance and best settings.

That's good news. Dark Ages looks almost the same on medium and will get the B580 past the magic 60fps barrier.

Before posting the SS: Both the 9600K and 3500X aged liked warm milk. The 9th gen system does have rebar. Definitely would not recommend ARC for an old 6/6 CPU setup. AM4 has it much better since you can drop in Zen 3 for dirt cheap.
Some of the tests were not particularly CPU stressful either. In 2077 he just ran around in a low NPC area. Dogtown would flatline it.

apparently Intel is clearing out on B580 orders.
*right at the start of the video*
*right at the start of the video*
Intel doesn't even have 1% share. At this point it's artificial supply supression because they don't believe in the product enough. The hype has done nothing.
AMD sells more Polaris(RX400/500) GPUs than Intel does for ARC. I would personally not buy ARC for $250 either. It has to be $100-125 for me.

No worries, I made up for it by buying 3.
Only the A380 was $100. The A750 was $200, and the Odyssey was $259. I have bought AMD CPUs for decades to support competition, I will do the same for ARC if they keep making them.

there is a 48 (forty-eight) GB double-core B580 for AI applications
Yeah, maybe I should send Intel a message to take my 4 A770s and one A750 in return for that...there is a 48 (forty-eight) GB double-core B580 for AI applications
That's harsh. The B580 is more decent than 5060 8GB.

-Buy one for me too then, got tired of waiting for B580's to come down to a reasonable price so I just moved my 6800xt into my Steambox and now am shopping for something more powerful to go into my main.
May my 980ti finally see a days rest in 10 years...

I think I should get $1000 for the lot. If you are asking about the 48GB B580, shouldn't be more than $900.
