First Taste of Intel Arc B570: OpenCL Benchmark Reports Good Price-to-Performance

In the past few weeks, all eyes have on NVIDIA's and AMD's next-gen GPU offerings, and rightly so. Now, it's about time to turn our attention to what appears to be the third major player in the GPU industry - Intel. This is, of course, all thanks to the Blue Camp's wildly successful Arc B580 launch, which propelled the beleaguered chip giant to the favorable side of the GPU price-to-performance line.

Now, it appears that a fresh leak has revealed how its soon-to-be sibling, the Arc B570, is about to perform. The leaked performance data, courtesy of Geekbench OpenCL, reveals that the Arc B570 is right around 11% slower than the Arc B580 in the synthetic OpenCL benchmark, which makes complete sense, because the card is also expected to be around 12% cheaper than its more powerful sibling, as noted by Wccftech. With a score of 86,716, the Arc B570 is well ahead of the RX 7600 XT, which manages around 84000 points, and well behind the RTX 4060, which rakes in just above 100000.
Needless to say, OpenCL performance is hardly representative of how well the card will perform in games, but it does paint a picture of relative raw performance. The card has also been revealed to feature 144 compute units and a boost clock of 2750 MHz, along with 10 GB of GDDR6 memory. For an expected price of $219, the Arc B570 has a lot going for it to make it as enticing of a deal as the Arc B580 was - unless, entry-level Blackwell, or RDNA 4 arrives with an even better value proposition. Judging by the only 8 GB of VRAM rumors, though, it does seem somewhat unlikely.

Its crazy when you compare the specs of the A770 vs the B570, it just has so much more of everything yet a worse performing card.
Makes me wish they just rereleased it as a B750 with the B570 base tech

The issue is the price, the B580 is 1650 RON(local currency) and the B570 1500 RON. Why would you buy the 570 when the price gap is so small ?

B580's back in stock yet for that fabled $250 price?

The B580 is 342$ (taxes included in Romania). 250$ ? maybe in about 2-3 years or so :)

- On Amazon here in the US I see a handful of third party sellers asking $399...

Wonder the odds on B570 sticking to it's MSRP pricing or even being in stock.

Intel doing Intel things and squandering the little opportunity they had to grab a toehold in the GPU space.

Edit: Cheapest on Newegg from a third party seller seems to be $340.

Both AMD and Intel need to sell them at a loss, if they want to compete with Nvidia this year and in the years to come.

Visible NoiseDo we mean this B580? MicroCenter has them.

-Wait Microcenter has an online store? Cause otherwise the closest one is about 600 miles from me...

Yes, they do. In this case you’re out of luck though as this is in-store only. I’m fortunate, I’m about 20 minutes from one.

I could see it being viable for AMD & Intel to sell at a loss for a short period, to get enough market share to make optimizing for their cards more appealing to game devs, but I don't think doing so "in the years to come" is a workable business plan. No point in competing in a market unless you intend to make some profit from it.

-Damn, might as well not exist then. Guess their processor deals are in store only too? Cause they're pretty mid when it comes to the pricing on anything else.

I agree. But what is the alternative, that your products gather dust on the store shelves because they are not selling, due to the competition having better products and/or marketing and only slightly higher price ?

ScaLibBDPAccording to

relative performance of Intel Arc B570 card is between TITAN X Pascal and Radeon RX 6600 XT cards.
This is my follow up on my post after I've reviewed how Geekbench6 benchmarks work.

In overall, there are two Geekbench6 benchmarks

- for CPU compute workloads,
- for GPU compute workloads.

Both Pdf-files with technical descriptions are available on Geekbench6 website.

The Geekbench6 benchmark for CPU compute workloads is Not applicable in case of GPUs.

The Geekbench6 benchmark for GPU compute workloads is Questionable and I don't think its scores could be used to answer a question if a GPU card is good for Gaming workloads.

The GPU card in question needs to be tested on a set of Real Games and I recommend to look at these two videos by Linus tech Tips:
