Do you want the good news or the bad news about Intel's new Arc B580 graphics card? OK, the main good news is that it exists at all. Intel's second-gen Battlemage graphics tech is official, it's announced, it's real and it's here.
Going by Intel's claims, the actual architecture looks pretty great, too. It's been updated to be more efficient, to deliver better utilisation and performance per graphics core and also sports improved ray tracing and AI performance. Indeed, pound-for-pound, it looks like Intel may now be able to match Nvidia for ray tracing performance.
