Test shows Intel Arc B570 12% slower than Intel Arc B580

Apparently, Intel has accurately calculated the performance-price ratio of its new B570 board, which hits the market 12% cheaper than the B580 and with 12% lower performance. The information was published on the Geekbench website.

And while Geekbench tests aren’t entirely comparable to gaming benchmarks, especially when it comes to memory performance, they do show the raw performance capability of the tested components.

The new B570 will follow the model of its sister, the B580, launched in December. Although, It is cheaper, has fewer cores and comes at a more affordable price. It also marks the first graphics card launch in 2025.

Its predecessor, the B580, was a success for Intel, with its cards selling out at almost all popular retailers, so the B570 has the opportunity to fill a gap in the entry-level segment.

Features of the B570

The B570 achieves 86,716 points in the OpenCL test, while the B580 approaches 100,000. The site used 98,343 for comparison, showing that the B570 is approximately 11.8% slower. However, it is possible to find higher scores for comparison.

Without knowing the exact specifications of the card, it is difficult to make an adequate comparison with a model with an approximate hardware configuration. The B580 has three overclocking levels of up to 210W, so they are not cards with the same performance line.

Based on the specifications, the B570 has 10% fewer cores, a 7% lower clock speed, 17% lower bandwidth and a 12% lower price. In this test, it delivered a 12% lower performance.

Even with sacrifices, the success of the B580 suggests that the B570 can achieve similar popularity. Otherwise, we’ll see another Arc quickly seeking a new, lower MSRP.

Competition

For Intel, the main advantage now is that neither AMD nor NVIDIA have an entry SKU expected to launch soon, providing a window of opportunity to capture market share before the RDNA4 and Blackwell updates reach consumers. .

With its new models, AMD is bringing FSR4, compatible with AMD Ryzen 9000 Series and Radeon Graphics GPUs. The technology uses artificial intelligence to perform upscaling. On equal systems, performance is comparable to FSR3, but the drive will need to be improved.

NVIDIA, in turn, is introducing DLSS4, compatible with Blackwell GPUs and which also uses AI to increase the performance and quality of game graphics. At launch, the company has already confirmed support for 75 games and the list is expected to increase as technology development advances.
