But we don’t know the performance level yet
While Intel is preparing to launch sales of the Arc A580 video card, which was introduced last summer, in Japan some retailers began sales ahead of schedule. More precisely, allegedly ASRock, as one of the manufacturers, forgot to notify sellers about the start date of sales. As a result, in Japan, you can already buy the card.
Intel Arc A580 went on sale earlier than the official date, and the card is cheaper than its competitor
For example, in the Biccamera store, they charge about $260 for an adapter. This may seem like a steep price since the Arc A750 is asking that much in Europe, but electronics prices tend to be higher in Japan. To better understand the positioning of the new product, it is worth knowing that in the same store, the Arc A750 costs about $370. Thus, the Arc A580 is 30% cheaper than the Arc A750. If the situation is approximately the same in Europe, then they will ask about 180–190 dollars for a new product.
However, you can look at the US and Canadian markets, where the new product has already appeared on some sellers for $210.
We don’t yet know what performance the Arc A580 has, but we know that Intel itself is positioning it against the Radeon RX 6600 and RTX 3050. The first in Europe starts at about 200 euros, and the second can be bought for 220 euros. That is, the Arc A580 may be cheaper than both of them.
