The Intel Arc owners thread

I think the B580 acheiving 4070 performance is a little farfetched, but even if it did, how much does that matter?

A 4070 today is under £500, a 4060Ti 16GB is £420, 4060Ti 8GB is £320. AMD's equivalent (in raster) is the 7800XT at £450, the 7700XT is £350. All OCUK prices, maybe you can pay less elsewhere.

Assuming the next gen of both NVIDIA and AMD improves price/performance by just one tier, then maybe the B580 will be OK. If NVIDIA is at £400-ish, AMD at £350, and Intel at £260, then it looks like a bargain (sort of).

However, if the B580 is 10-15% slower than the 4070 on average, which puts it closer to 4060Ti performance, then it's DOA, because better/cheaper cards are only 3 months away. Even the 4060Ti 8GB and 7700XT would only need to drop another 10%, before they're equal to (or better than) the B580.

Intel still have a lot of work to do
 
What drugs are you taking, where Nvidia are offering their 4060TI replacement for even close to that price?
New card = more money. Can't be offering a performance bump without extra money being charged.

I guess we'll have to see what happens. Because if both Intel and AMD move forward by one tier (or more) while NVIDIA stands still, that would make their cards stonking great deals
 
"Intel Arc B580/B570 and AMD Navi 44 may reportedly win with RTX 4060 Ti in synthetic tests"

 
Fingers crossed that it's the B570 that matches the RTX 4060 Ti, because it needs to be £100 or more lower than the RTX 4060 Ti, not the ~£60 expected of the B580.
 

B580 and B570 8X PCIe 4 lanes, that should tell you this isn't a 4070 or higher.
