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.

Makes me wish they just rereleased it as a B750 with the B570 base tech

relative performance of Intel Arc B570 card is between TITAN X Pascal and Radeon RX 6600 XT cards.
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.
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:
