Intel's upcoming Arc B580, part of the next-generation Battlemage GPU series, has been leaked, giving tech enthusiasts an early glimpse of what's to come. Amazon unintentionally revealed the ASRock Arc B580 Steel Legend graphics card, confirming key specifications and indicating that we are about to get the new discrete GPU contenders. The Arc B580 will feature Intel's Xe2-HPG architecture, with a factory overclocked speed of 2.8 GHz. The board is equipped with 12 GB of GDDR6 memory running at a clock speed of 19 Gbps. While the core count remains unconfirmed, the product listing highlights its support for 8K resolution (7680 x 4320), and dual 8-pin power connectors. Two variants are expected: the Steel Legend revealed in Amazon's listing, and the Challenger, which has yet to appear in detail.

The leak also aligns with Intel's upcoming plan for the Battlemage series, as references to the Arc B-Series have been uncovered in Intel's official documentation, including the "Intel oneAPI Math Kernel" and "Intel Platform Monitoring Technology" files. The Arc B580 will lead the charge, potentially alongside a slightly less powerful Arc B570 model. Targeting the mid-range market, Intel seems poised to offer a competitive alternative to rival GPUs. AMD will also stick to mid-range segment with RDNA 4, so the battle of "midranges" is the one to watch this upcoming season. With support pages for the B-Series already live and public leaks increasing, an official announcement appears imminent—possibly within days. We previously learned that December is the month of Battlemage launch to steal the CES's attention for January.
 
For anyone who wants a mid-range GPU this might be the one to buy provided performance and price are good.

Really hoping for everyone that this series does well in the bang/buck territory. It help the whole GPU market shift down in price with 3 real options out there. Nvidia and to some extent AMD have left entry level behind for a while now
