Intel's Update Levels Arc B580 Playing Field with AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT
AMD and Intel have been in a close competition in the GPU market, with their latest offerings, the AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT and Intel Arc B580, both making waves. The AMD card is priced at $300, while the Intel one is at $250. However, recent updates have significantly altered the performance landscape.
Initially, the Intel Arc B580 faced performance issues when paired with older processors. However, Intel's Update Version 32.0.101.7028, released in August, has turned the tables. This update, specifically for the Ryzen 5 5600, has led to a significant performance boost. Before the update, the AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT outperformed the B580 by 30% in a 10-game sample. Now, with the update, the B580 achieves an average fps of 118 on Spider-Man Remastered at Very High settings with a Ryzen 5 5600, narrowing the gap considerably.
It's important to note that this performance improvement is not universal and does not apply to all older chips like the Ryzen 5 2600. The choice between the two GPUs now largely depends on the deals available and the age of the user's CPU.
In conclusion, Intel's recent update has brought the Intel Arc B580's performance to par with the AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT in certain tests. However, the best GPU for you depends on your specific system and the current market offers. Keep an eye on updates and deals to make the most informed decision.
