Intel had its worst year in years. Plagued by turmoil on all sides, the company reached its nadir when CEO Pat Gelsinger was ousted from the board of directors in early December.
Intel seemed to be on the ropes, but it nonetheless made the right choice with the Arc B580 that arrived last week. In our review, we called the $250 card the most productively priced GPU, highlighting how it outperforms the GeForce RTX 4060 and Radeon RX 7600 while also costing less. You also get more VRAM: 12GB instead of a measly 8GB.
Critics like Linus Sebastian and Gamers Nexus agree that the Arc B580 is a wonderful card. The GPU is now in such significant demand that it is sold out at many retailers. The only models Newegg offers lately are China’s Gunnir variants, which range from $379 to $429. It’s also sold out on Amazon.
In September, it reported that Intel had lost its entire percentage of compromised GPUs, squandering the 4% percentage it briefly achieved after the launch of the Arc Alchemist series in 2022.
