Intel Arc B580 Starts Appearing in Sales and Even Surpasses Some AMD and NVIDIA GPUs

Intel Arc B580 Outperforms AMD and NVIDIA in Sales, Boosts Intel's Graphics Market Share

For the first time, an Intel Arc series graphics card has shown progress in hardware sales, according to data from Mindfactory, a popular German retailer. The Intel Arc B580 outsold several competing 8 GB memory cards, including the AMD Radeon RX 9070 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti. While AMD and NVIDIA GPUs typically lead in sales, the Arc B580 ranked 12th in sales for the week, with approximately 40 units sold. Although this number is small compared to the leading AMD RX 9070 XT, which sold several hundred units, it represents a significant improvement for Intel compared to previous months. The B580's 12 GB of GDDR6 memory makes it an appealing option for gamers seeking to play at 1440p resolution without running out of memory, especially as many GPUs with only 8 GB of VRAM are underperforming commercially in 2025 due to newer games demanding more memory. User Godrics01 reported using the Intel Arc B580 for a month after relying on AMD and NVIDIA cards for 1440p gaming. They noted a difference in their daily experience after switching to the Arc B580. However, their hands-on experience directly contradicted existing online reviews of the card.

Here is a summary of GPU unit sales for the week: Radeon RX 9070 XT: 725 Radeon RX 9060 XT: 595 GeForce RTX 5070 Ti: 310 GeForce RTX 5080: 275 GeForce RTX 5060 Ti: 205 GeForce RTX 5070: 120 GeForce RTX 5060: 85 Radeon RX 7600: 80 Radeon RX 7900 XTX: 60 GeForce RTX 5090: 55 GeForce RTX 3050: 50 Intel Arc B580: 40 Intel Arc A310: 30 RTX 3060: 20 Intel Arc B570: 20 Intel Arc Pro B50: 20 Radeon RX 6650 XT: 20 Radeon RX 9070: 20 Radeon RX 7900 XT: 20 Radeon RX 7700 XT: 20 GT 1030: 10 RTX 5060 Ti: 10 Radeon RX 6500 XT: 5
