Intel Arc B580 12GB hits 86.0 tok/s on Phi-3 Mini, its strongest benchmarked workload (batch 1, 4096-token context, 12GB VRAM, 190W TDP). It has 11 records across 7 workloads in our database, with a MyAI Rating of 8.4/10. Llama 3 70B Q4 needs ~40GB VRAM, so check the VRAM column before assuming feasibility.
Intel Arc B580 12GB — Battlemage architecture discrete GPU. 12GB GDDR6 at 456 GB/s, 190W TDP. Intel's most competitive consumer GPU for AI with XMX AI engines and IPEX-LLM software stack.
12GB VRAM with XMX acceleration via IPEX-LLM runs 7B Q4 at ~35-45 tok/s. The software stack (IPEX-LLM, OpenVINO) is maturing but not at CUDA parity. Best for budget AI builders who want 12GB on new hardware and are comfortable with the Intel software ecosystem. Not recommended for production CUDA-dependent workloads.
Intel Arc B580 12GB with 12GB VRAM at 190W TDP, scored across 7 workloads with 11 benchmark records.
