New graphics cards are almost here. This manufacturer will show them first
Manufacturers of computer sets confirm that Intel will be the first to show new graphics cards. However, these will not be the most efficient systems on the market.

The whole big trinity – AMD, Intel and NVIDIA – getting ready to premiere new graphics cards. We are, of course, talking about series Radeon RX 8000, ARC Battlemage and GeForce RTX 5000. But only one of the manufacturers is to present its system this year, and that is Blue.
The Blues want to overtake the Reds and Greens
Earlier rumors suggested that Intel would show its graphics cards later this year. But this time we get confirmation – the Korean editorial office of ZDNET, citing its sources, claims that Intel ARC Battlemage will appear no later than the end of December.
Unfortunately, that’s the end of the specifics, and the rest is guesswork. It seems that the first to appear is the mid-range Intel ARC B580 model. The first tests in the Geekbench database indicate 20 Xe cores2 and 12 GB of VRAM on a 192-bit data bus. All this at maximum clock speed up to 2850MHz.
What about the performance itself? And this is where problems arise. We are talking about a score of 78,743 points in the OpenCL test. This even less than the current generation and Intel ARC A580. So this suggests that we are talking about engineering sample testing based on preliminary and underdeveloped drivers.
Therefore, it is worth holding off on final conclusions until the official premiere and independent tests. Especially that Intel has announced its focus on the low-medium price and performance segment.
