Arc B580 Pricing and Availability: A $249 Offering at Newegg and Walmart

Just a few months back, consumers faced a challenge finding the Arc B580 priced below $300, with some retailers marking it close to $350. However, the situation has shifted favorably for this high-performance Battlemage GPU. Since its launch in December, which was accompanied by a rather lackluster availability compared to competitors like the RTX 5090, the Arc B580 is now enjoying a strong presence at various major retailers, including Newegg and Walmart.

Currently, the Intel Arc B580 reference model is available for $249 at Newegg, which aligns with its official manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP).Custom editions, such as the ONIX ODYSSEY Arc B580, are similarly priced at $249 on both Newegg and Walmart. Other models, particularly overclocked (OC) versions, fall within a price range of $260 to $280, marking a significant price cut compared to their initial launch. Nonetheless, a few variants are still pegged at nearly $350.

Technical Overview of the Arc B580

The Arc B580 is the flagship GPU in Intel’s Battlemage series, employing the BMG-G21 GPU die. With 20 Xe2 cores, 12 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit bus, and a power rating of 190W, the B580 stands well against previous-generation counterparts, including AMD’s Radeon RX 7600 XT and NVIDIA’s RTX 4060. While it may not outperform the RX 9060 XT or RTX 5060 in certain scenarios, it boasts an advantage in VRAM capacity, making it particularly well-suited for contemporary gaming, especially at 1440p resolutions.
