Intel seems to be preparing a special "Limited Edition" version of the leaked B580 Battlemage GPU - priced at $250 per leaks.

Battlemage GPUs must be getting close to launch. Another Intel Arc B580 showed up on Geekbench only a couple of months after the first suspected B580 appeared. Pair that with Intel’s plan ( back in January) to launch the discrete GPU line by the end of this year, and it’s beginning to look a lot like Chr- er, January 2025. We can hardly wait.

Intel has been adamant that it plans to continue developing discrete GPUs after getting back in the game with Arc Alchemist, which at the time ended a long hiatus dating all the way back to Larrabee.

We could be looking at an Intel Arc B580 Limited Edition GPU launch in December and a $250 price point for Intel's first Battlemage desktop graphics card.

Packaging for the new Intel Arc B580 budget desktop gaming GPU has appeared in a shipping manifest, with rumors pointing to a December launch.

If this Battlemage price rumor is correct, then Intel is planning to undercut all Nvidia GeForce and AMD Radeon desktop graphics cards.

Leak about packaging for Battlemage B580 is a hopeful hint the budget GPU we desperately need could arrive soon.

Intel’s next generation Battlemage desktop cards are slated to land before 2024 ends according to ZDNet Korea, but gaming might not be the GPU’s primary focus.
