The Intel Arc B580, which is expected to officially launch later this week, has once again been spotted in the Geekbench database, this time in Vulkan and OpenCL benchmarks. Reported correctly as the BGM-21 GPU with 20 Xe2 cores, the graphics card was tested on a high-end system with an Intel Core Ultra 9 285K CPU and 48GB of DDR5-8400 memory.

The Intel Arc B580 managed to get 103,445 points in Vulkan and 98,343 in the OpenCL test, as spotted by Videocardz.com. The Vulkan score puts it ahead of both the Nvidia Geforce RTX 4060 and the AMD Radeon RX 7600 XT, two quite popular mid-range graphics cards. In the OpenCL test, it fits between those two cards, with RTX 4070 leading the pack with a 101,732 score. More importantly, this makes it significantly faster than the predecessor, the A580, by around 9 to 30 percent according to Intel.

Unfortunately, there are still no specific gaming results, but that should change in a few days. Considering that Intel is launching the Arc B580 at $249 MSRP, this will make it much more interesting compared to those two graphics cards from Nvidia and AMD, which launched closer to $299.
