Intel's next-generation Arc "Battlemage" discrete GPUs are reportedly launching on December 3rd, according to exclusive information from Videocardz.
Initially, Intel plans to release the Arc Battlemage B580 and B570, including "Limited Edition" models similar to their previous Arc GPU launch strategy. Reviews for the Limited Edition models are expected on December 12th, with reviews for custom AIB partner cards following on December 13th. This staggered release likely prioritizes Intel's in-house models.
