Test Rig
For our tests, we used a test rig which includes the Asus Strix Z790-E Gaming motherboard
All tests were conducted at turbo clock speeds at a resolution of 2560×1440 or 1920×1080. High or Ultra settings enabled.

GPU-Z Info
Using the latest version of GPU-Z, we can see that the Intel Arc B580 uses 5nm technology. You can also see that the ASRock Steel Legend Intel Arc B580 has a slightly overclocked GPU running at 2.8GHz (default is 2.67GHz).
AIDA64 GPU Info
As you can seen from screenshot below … the Intel Arc B580 (codename Battlemage) is based 5nm process. It uses 12GB of GDDR6 ram on a 192-bit memory bus. Interestingly, it shows it has 40 Xe2 cores, which I think is a typo.
PassMark 11 – Performance Test (3D Test)
Test the speed of your 3D video card by selecting from options such as fogging, lighting, alpha blending, wire frame, texturing, resolution, color depth, object rotation and object displacement. Separate tests for DirectX 9,10,11 & 12. With support for 4K resolution.
Load Temperatures
During our full load tests, we were extremely surprised to see that the GPU procuded a full load temperature of only 53 degrees Celsius. That’s well below our expectations, I was expecting higher temperatures. The total board power was also surprisingly low at only 116W. So in that respect … Well done Intel!
