Intel's upcoming Arc B570 graphics card has been prematurely revealed through a French wholesale distributor listing, providing an early glimpse at the specifications of Team Blue's latest gaming GPU ahead of its official announcement.
According to the listing at 1foTrade, a major French hardware distributor, the ASRock Arc B570 Challenger will feature 10GB of GDDR6 memory running at 19 Gbps, with maximum boost clocks reaching 2.6 GHz. The GPU is built on Intel's BMG-G21 die, though the exact Xe core count remains under wraps until the official launch.
The accidental listing comes just days before Intel's planned Arc GPU event on December 3rd, where the company is expected to unveil its new Battlemage desktop graphics card lineup. The B570 will likely launch alongside its more powerful sibling, the Arc B580, which boasts 12GB of memory and higher 2.85 GHz boost clocks.
Early performance rumors suggest both the B570 and B580 could potentially outperform NVIDIA's RTX 4060 Ti in certain benchmarks. The B570 is expected to target a price point around $200, potentially making it the first 10GB graphics card available below that threshold.
Several board partners, including Gunnir, have begun confirming the imminent arrival of Battlemage GPUs in early December. However, industry sources indicate that widespread retail availability may be pushed back past the holiday season.
While the leaked specifications paint an promising picture for Intel's latest GPU offerings, real-world performance will ultimately depend on driver optimization and independent testing once the cards reach reviewers' hands.
The upcoming December 3rd event should provide complete details on specifications, pricing, and availability for Intel's full Battlemage desktop GPU lineup.
