Intel Arc B580 “Battlemage” graphics card sold out within a day of becoming available in US

Intel’s new Arc B580 “Battlemage” graphics card, launched last week and has been a hit with consumers, quickly selling out at retailers. The card, based on the Xe2 architecture, marks Intel’s second-generation desktop Arc Graphics and offers impressive performance, surpassing both the GeForce RTX 4060 and Radeon RX 7600 in many benchmarks at a much bigger margin than at 1080p. With improved drivers and stability compared to the first generation, the Arc B580 boasts excellent ray tracing performance and 12GB of VRAM. While the Limited Edition is currently sold out and expected to be restocked in January, however, AIB editions of the card will be available soon.
