The Intel Arc B570 is the kind of graphics card I desperately want to love, but my tech-addled PC gaming heart belongs to another. But the problem is that despite some impressive specs for a card this cheap,

With the sibling Arc B570 scheduled to launch on January 16 at $219, many are wondering if the B580 was a one-off success. This new performance leak is limited in scope, but it suggests that Intel could have another sellout on its hands.

Leaning hard on the cost-effective 1440p GPU for gamers, the ARC B570 has a high bar to reach to beat out other, more established GPUs in its target demographic.

A new Geekbench result suggests this Intel graphics card will be able to hold its own against the likes of the AMD Radeon RX 7600 XT.

It would be so much easier to recommend the Intel Arc B570 if it was a $199 card, rather than $219. At that price, it’d be 20% cheaper and a much better deal than the B580. Instead, when it comes to a pure value perspective, it’s a wash between the two graphics cards, but you’re going to feel the difference in more demanding PC games.
