Another Intel GPU has been leaked – this time the Arc B570 GPU, and it turns out the AIB model that was leaked in question was the one already spotted in the retail leak several days ago. Specifically, it’s the ASRock Challenger Arc B570 10GB OC, featuring a dual-fan design.
Intel Arc B570 Specs Leaked
The same leak also reveals the full specs of the Arc B580 in the form of ASRock Steel Legend card, which largely confirms the specs as outlined in the Geekbench entry spotted several days earlier. As for the main point of this story, the Arc B570 – this mid-range GPU is a slightly cut-down version of the B580, with two less Xe2-cores, 2GB less VRAM (accompanied with slightly narrower memory bus), though it seemingly features significantly less XMX Engines (144 vs 320).
However, one leak that ended up being incorrect is the PCIe 5.0 support. Both GPUs will remain on PCIe 4.0 x8, though a mid-range GPU like this won’t have to worry about bandwidth being saturated anytime soon. To give you some context, you’ll need a GPU around RTX 3090’s ballpark to see the effects of PCIe 3.0 x16 / PCIe 4.0 x8 holding it back.
Note that specs like clock speeds and power draw are subject to each AIB’s designs, and for the default specifications of the Battlemage GPUs, we may have an answer very soon as Intel has officially teased the launch of its next-gen GPU lineup.
Pokdepinion: The specs look decent on paper.
