Intel has finally launched the Arc A580 discrete graphics card. The card will launch globally and will be available starting today.
The A580 features 24 Xe cores and ray tracing units, along with a clock speed of 1700 MHz, although all currently announced cards feature an overclocked clock speed of 2000 MHz. It also comes with 8GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit memory bus for 512 GB/s of memory bandwidth. The card has a total power of 185W. Overall, the A580 is quite close to the A750 in terms of specifications.
The A580 was first announced alongside the other Arc A series graphics cards over a year ago. While three of the four cards were launched last year, the A580 has not been talked about until now. Considering that the A580 uses a scaled-down version of the same GPU as the A750 and A770, Intel was likely waiting until there was a sufficient inventory of unused 7-series wafers before producing the A580.
With similar specs to the A750, you can expect performance pretty close to that model. Intel is aiming for a high settings experience of 1080p for the A580 and a high refresh rate experience using XeSS, the company’s AI-powered image upscaling and reconstruction technology.
The A580 is currently offered by ASRock, Gunnir and Sparkle. Pricing starts at $179 and the card will be available in all regions that currently sell other Intel Arc cards.
