Intel Fixed Its Problems | Tearing Down the Arc B580 Video Card

We're tearing apart the Intel Battlemage B580 video card in this video, featuring Intel's new Arc GPU. The B580 'Limited Edition' card from Intel is on the modmat today, getting torn down for inspection into its assembly quality after the nightmarish assembly of the original Arc A770 and A750 GPUs. Intel has improved in huge ways with this much simpler, more "boring" (in a good way) video card design.

(Got done filming with Der8auer today -- will take a while to put together the videos, but they're cool!)

The shroud is an anti-theft feature. It records the fingerprints of everyone who's ever handled it

Watched on 1.5x speed to give you some spare time

I don't know, guys, but I think Steve might have a flight in a couple of hours.

I actually really, really like the design of (Intel's) B580. It's incredibly simple and minimalistic, slightly industrial but with some flair, and I'm definitely feeling it. No RGB (apart from the optional light-up "Intel ARC" logo). No flashy and spaced out "gamer" design. Just simple and austere, in a good way.

That „discoloration“ is an underfill material which is UV hardened (hence the slight yellow color) after pcb assembly. This improves the mechanic stability of the die itself and protects for ingress of dirt or liquids (like old thermal paste).

Ah yes, I remember Intel's screwless design with 58 screws, revolutionary.

3:38 "Partners can do technically whatever they want." Considering the world we live in I wouldn't be surprised to see one with Molex connectors at this point.

Ofc the one time in the last 5 years that there's a cheap good GPU release it's sold out before it even hits the shelves where I live

[Martinsix]

I actually love that Intel engineers watch for the reviews of their product and listen to what their consumers feel like about the product. And the fact they had a talk inside and redone the design even if its just a cooler made by different dept. - epic respect for the guy that took that to the table and wishes their product to be the best.

Intel has gained much of my respect for this.

Why do I feel like for this video, Steve is a tour guide who has a date at the end of his shift?

[gsm_liv]

If the B580 is already this good, I hope the B750 and B770 keep the same energy.

You can easily tell Steve was in a rush because he failed to notice or mention that the fan shroud features TWO squircles

“MosFats...they’ve gained some weight.” 😂

[Greshgore]

B580 sold out in about a minute and a half at Newegg this morning, was desperately hoping to grab one for my dad. All the partner cards show out of stock too, but I don't know if that's because they legitimately are or because they haven't been released yet. I hope most of the sales were to legitimate users and not scalpers. Doesn't matter much to Intel's bottom line who buys it but it would make me feel better at least.

[TheCheeseManIsComingForYou]

Hope they release some higher end Battlemage cards so I have an upgrade from my 3070. The 8gb vram on the 3070 is not quite enough.

“If I’m talking fast it’s because we have to get on a plane soon”. No sir, 1.5 speed is your normal pace.

[Tubbytube]

What a marvelous innovation they somehow made matte black plastic catch as many fingerprints as a launch PS3.

Posting remotely from Germany, thanks Steve mit acht.
