Intel's $249 Arc B580 is the GPU we've begged for since the pandemic

Powered by the new Xe2 "Battlemage" architecture and a new XeSS 2 frame generation feature, Intel's $249 Arc B580 is FINALLY bringing 1440p gaming to the masses.

If even half of Intel’s claims are true, this could be a big shake up in the midrange market that has been entirely abandoned by both Nvidia and AMD.

    don’t forget mini PC like a beelink with a 8745HS for instance can be pretty great for games

      I have an AMD build beelink and I’m shocked what it can run.

        same, I am not a gamer but developer, I replaced a bulky full ATX tower (core i7) with a mini PC Beelink SER5 (a 5600H, before 5800H was out so got a good price)

      Yup. My kids pretty much only play Minecraft and Lego games, and those work fine on my 3500U. The 8745HS would be probably be way better.
