Intel launches new Arc B580 GPU with 10% more performance than an RTX 4060 for $249 but the rumoured RTX 4070-beater is nowhere to be seen
Overall, Intel is claiming that the B580 has the measure of the Nvidia RTX 4060 by 10% on average at 1440p while undercutting its $299 by $50. Intel is leaning into the memory advantage of its new cards for 1440p gaming in particular and with ray tracing enabled. After all, the RTX 4060 is a mere 8 GB card with a 128-bit memory bus.
