Intel Arc B570 10GB is Intel’s lower-cost Xe2 Battlemage graphics card for 1080p and selective 1440p gaming. This Product record combines Intel’s fixed GPU specifications with clearly labelled ASRock Challenger partner-card details. Launch prices are historical; check the exact model, current regional price and availability before ordering.
Product overview
The Arc B570 launched on 16 January 2025 at $219 in the United States and £219 in the United Kingdom. It provides 10GB of GDDR6 memory, an unusually useful capacity for an entry-level card, but sits close to the faster Arc B580 12GB in both name and original price. The B570 is therefore best assessed at its real retailer price rather than in isolation.
Intel’s Xe2 Battlemage architecture supplies modern ray tracing, XMX acceleration, XeSS 2 features and an AV1-capable media engine. Performance varies by game, processor and API, and a modern platform with Resizable BAR enabled is important for the intended Arc experience.
Core specifications
- 18 Xe2 cores and 18 ray-tracing units
- 144 XMX engines on the ASRock Challenger specification
- 10GB GDDR6 on a 160-bit memory interface
- 19Gbps memory and 380GB/s bandwidth
- 2.5GHz Intel graphics clock; 2.6GHz on the ASRock Challenger OC model
- 150W total board power
- PCI Express 4.0 x8 host interface
These figures describe the B570 GPU class or the named ASRock partner card where stated. Cooler dimensions, factory clocks, outputs, power connectors and warranty terms can differ between manufacturers.
Gaming position
The B570 is primarily a value-focused 1080p graphics card. Independent testing also shows playable 1440p results in many games when settings are selected carefully, although the 12GB B580 provides more memory bandwidth and generally stronger performance. Ten gigabytes offers more texture headroom than common 8GB competitors, but memory capacity alone cannot guarantee smooth performance in every engine.
Results can be more sensitive to the game and CPU than on mature GeForce and Radeon platforms. Buyers upgrading an older computer should check results using a processor similar to their own rather than relying only on premium test systems.
XeSS, ray tracing and media features
XeSS 2 can provide super-resolution, frame generation and latency-reduction features in supported games. Support and image quality remain game-specific, and generated frames should not be treated as equivalent to native rendered performance. The B570’s ray-tracing hardware is useful with appropriate settings, but demanding effects can require upscaling or a lower quality preset.
The hardware media engine supports AV1 encode and decode alongside HEVC/H.265 and H.264. This can benefit streaming and video workflows, subject to support in the application being used.
Power, cooling and compatibility
Intel specifies 150W total board power. The featured ASRock Challenger uses one PCIe 8-pin connector, a dual-fan cooler and a 600W recommended system supply. It measures 249 x 132 x 41 mm and occupies two slots. These are partner-card specifications, not universal dimensions for every B570.
Before buying, confirm case length and thickness clearance, the required PSU connector, motherboard firmware and Resizable BAR support. Use the power-supply manufacturer’s approved cable and verify the exact model code on the retailer listing.
Who should consider it?
The B570 suits a modern budget PC aimed mainly at 1080p gaming, with occasional 1440p use at sensible settings. It is also relevant where 10GB of memory, AV1 media support or the lower 150W board-power rating is useful. It is less attractive when the B580 costs only a little more, when the computer cannot support Resizable BAR, or when a buyer depends on software with stronger vendor-specific support elsewhere.
UK and US price checks
The original $219 / £219 prices provide historical context only. UK prices normally include VAT while US prices usually exclude local sales tax, so direct currency conversion is misleading. Compare the delivered price, exact partner card, return policy and warranty route.

Review and source notes
Read the full Intel Arc B570 10GB Review for the evidence-based verdict, B580 comparison and independently attributed performance results. The fixed GPU specification was checked against Intel’s official product information. The featured board dimensions, clock, outputs and connector were checked against ASRock’s Challenger product page. 5000 Series has not tested this card directly.
Before ordering
Confirm the manufacturer, complete model code, memory capacity, physical dimensions and whether the listing is new, open-box, refurbished or marketplace supplied. Check current driver support for the games and applications that matter to you. Compare the B570 with the Arc B580 12GB at live prices: when the difference remains close to the original $30 / £30 gap, the B580 is normally the stronger long-term purchase.
