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
 
Well it will put to the test this theory that AMD/Intel are the reason nvidia be nvidia. We are led to believe its the competitions fault every time. If intel and AMD this gen pump out cheaper cards with reasonable performance.. yet people still end up 80% buying nvidia cards we can put that one to bed.

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
 
The disturbing trend is the price of nvidia cards maintains or goes up, and the specification of the product is weaker than before. If they call it a 4070 but its really a 4060Ti your getting a diluted product over time which I guess is what they hope you do not notice.

Intel Arc B580/B570 and AMD Navi 44 may reportedly win with RTX 4060 Ti in synthetic tests - VideoCardz.com

Smaller next-gen GPUs from Intel and AMD can beat RTX 4060 Ti by points The focus on the upper mid-range segment. When it comes to next-gen graphics, everyone is asking the same questions: how fast is it, how many cores does it have, does it have more than 8GB VRAM, and how much does it […]

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.
