After a waybill indicated, in recent days, the imminent launch of Intel’s new Battlemage GPUs, in the last few hours Amazon accidentally revealed some specs of the next generation Arc B580 graphics cardthrough two adverts that briefly appeared by mistake. The information was, of course, “screenshotted” by the Videocardz and Hardwareluxx sites before it was removed.
The new Intel Arc B580 GPUs they will be the first desktop graphics cards based on the Xe2-HPG architecturealready seen in a version integrated into Lunar Lake chips. The performance of the desktop version is expected to be significantly superior.
From the images leaked in the two sales advertisements, the Arc B580 appears to use a PCIe 5.0 x8 interface. The reported specifications indicate 12GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit buswith a clock frequency of 2,800 MHz. Two models have been revealed: theASRock Arc B580 Steel Legendwith a white design and three RGB fans, andASRock Arc B580 Challengermore compact with two fans and a clock slightly lower than 2,740 MHz.
The images present in the advertisements they also showed differences in nutrition: The Steel Legend requires two 8-pin connectors, while the Challenger uses only one. Both models offer three DisplayPort ports and one HDMI, although the supported standards were not specified.

Although Intel has not yet officially announced a launch date for the Battlemage GPUs (our Arc A770 it is still stuck at €310 on Amazon, also ignoring the recent price drop in the USA) several clues point to a debut soon. Retail packaging has appeared in some shipping documents and some leakers point to December as a possible launch period.
If confirmed, the launch of the new Intel GPUs it will precede Nvidia’s expected RTX 50 by a few weeks and AMD’s RDNA4, foreshadowing an early 2025 full of innovations in the high-performance graphics card sector.
