The GPUs promise faster gaming and smoother AI tasks, offering improved performance, better graphics, and increased responsiveness. Find out more.
Intel has launched the Intel Arc B-Series graphics cards, codenamed Battlemage. These GPUs are made for modern games and to help with AI tasks. They use Intel’s Xe Matrix Extensions (XMX) AI engines and include XeSS 2, which has three features that improve performance, smoothness, and responsiveness.
The GPUs are based on Intel’s Xe2 architecture, which helps improve efficiency and performance while using less software. The second-generation Xe-cores are built for modern tasks and include XMX AI engines. These Xe-cores are also supported by ray tracing units, mesh shading, and better graphics features to boost performance in new game engines.
Compared to the previous generation, Intel Arc B-Series GPUs offer 70% more performance per Xe-core and 50% more performance per watt. The B580 GPU is 24% faster than the Intel Arc A750 at 1440p, with some games running up to 78% faster. The Intel Arc B580 offers up to 32% better performance per dollar compared to other options. The Intel Arc B580 has 12GB of GPU memory, and the B570 has 10GB, giving gamers strong performance at 1440p ultra settings with the help of XeSS 2 features.
The graphics software lets you adjust display settings, such as colour and scaling and supports variable refresh rate (VRR). It also includes settings for 3D graphics, like limiting frames per second and a low-latency mode. There are options for overclocking and performance metrics, with support for frame generation and latency measurements.
“The new Intel Arc B-Series GPUs are the perfect upgrades for gamers. They deliver leading performance-per-dollar and great 1440p gaming experiences with XeSS 2, second-generation ray tracing engines and XMX AI engines. We’re delighted to be joined by more partners than ever so that gamers have more choice in finding their perfect design.”–Vivian Lien, Intel vice president and general manager of Client Graphics.
