Intel had its worst 12 months in years. Plagued by turmoil on all sides, the company reached its nadir when Chief Executive Officer 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.
Reviewers like Linus Sebastian and Gamers Nexus agree that the Arc B580 is a wonderful card. The GPU is now in such demand that it is out of stock at many retailers. The only models available on Newegg lately are the Gunnir variants from China, which range from $379 to $429. It’s also out of stock on Amazon.
In September, it reported that Intel had lost its entire share of committed GPUs, wasting the 4% share it briefly achieved after the launch of the Arc Alchemist series in 2022.
