But think of all those nVidia cards that could have been sold to gamers instead being sold for AI...
And think about what will happen when there is a $500 24GB AI capable board you can buy in instead!
Or the dual GPU 48GB!
There are many AI cases where the 48GB card is going to trounce any offering from nVidia, and every card Intel sells to AI folk is more nVidia card available to gamers.
So whether or not you are personally interested in buying a B60, it IS going to be a crazy important card to gamers
Intel badly needs a presence in enterprise or the data center, so these Pro Arc GPUs are to be expected.
Hopefully these cards can act as a lifeline for the struggling Arc division, but I hope that data center revenue doesn’t compel Intel to abandon the consumer segment altogether.
Why is Arc 'struggling'? Every release so far, going back to the first one, have sold out very quickly. B580s haven't been in retailer stock much at all since it came out, until the new AMD GPUs that recently released. But, whether it's scalpers or consumers, Arc never stays in stock for long.
Their first generation had some issues and was not great even for the low price but in the past year they have been killing it in the budget card space. Its really nice to have some options on the lower end again.
I’m curious how well it will do in simulations/3D applications. That amount of VRAM could significantly help production. It might not be an fps chaser, but might be a really good card for specific workloads.
VR development could be an interesting topic here, assuming one GPU die can not access the other GPU's VRAM, it could still be a decent option for development of VR games on the internal testing front. VR is very much staying, along with AI so i can see this being a nice tool for both, just not all at once.
I'm just trying to find an affordable card that will run 4k vr at 60 to 90 fps without any dlss; so many cards don't have enough vram for vr. Excited to see if the B60 will be able to do this.
not all datacenter, but prosumers and businesses that need to leverage stuff for workstations also have a space here. plus, while nowhere near as performant as a full fledged gaming GPU, i bet the B60 with gaming drivers can be a respectable gaming card for those off work hours gaming sessions.
I will say that Intel's naming is incredible. Now we have Battlematrix, what a badass name. Can we, as a society, please stop pretending that the rule of cool is "cringe"?
Great troll clickbait title tbh, the same day that 5060 hits shelves. People will of course think this is a 5060 review and LTT knelt the knee on Nvidia if they don't watch the video.
I mean I think that's what the dGPU for Intel is changing for Xe3P and onwards; Intel's fabs producing these GPUs which make money with AI/Workstation. I mean the original Xe produced on TSMC under Raja is certainly gone but feels like they've re-calibated with Xe3P quite a bit.
Honestly if Xe3P performs *very* well in labs I'd do a N44>N48 style die upscaling of a probable 256-bit part they're working on and just double the spec of it. If it still struggles in gaming Vs RTX 60 & UDNA/RDNA5/GFX14 PPA wise then they can just reuse said dies for AI easily. Especially could fill in the gap left by Falcon Shores to an extent.
Hey CabbageCZ, if the original title of this LTT submission was clickbait - please consider deleting this post and resubmitting it with a non-clickbait title. Report this message if it is in error. Thanks!
It was clickbait, I editorialized the best I could. Although I do kind of buy their reasoning for why it could be a very significant GPU overall - if it lands well.

$299 and I can do Forza high settings 120fps at 1440p? Sold. ...don't care about RT, I turn it off anyway.
Vb_33@reddit
What data center revenue, they have pretty much none. Their roadmap also slid, they won't have anything competitive for data center till 2027.
Ill_Assistant5308@reddit
The problem is it is a bit slow even compared with 5070 sigh

I still feel their architectures called after D&D things is so cool.

Where's my Chaotic Neutral Rogue GPU Intel? WHERE!?

Chaotic Neural Rogue.

Youll have to wait for R generation for the Rogue. Alignment optional.

No one will actually think that 5060 is important
Strazdas1@reddit
you underestimate human stupidity and overestimate their ability to read.

No they won't?

Ah yes, the infamous Intel 5060

Original title: THIS is the Most Important GPU of 2025
Genuinely could be exciting stuff, both in terms of AI/pro use cases, and in terms of giving Intel's discrete GPU arm more sales / runway.
Also includes commitments from Intel towards the gaming side of GPUs, so all in all pretty good news, if this doesn't bomb.
Strazdas1@reddit
seeing a title like that would instantly get me to click "not interested" in youtube.

It’s nice that Intel will let people run the gaming drivers on these instead of artificially segmenting the consumer and professional products.
I want to see how the 70w model compares to the 6GB 3050.
07bot4life@reddit
The passively cooled one looks interesting.
Username1991912@reddit
700$ for the B60 is pretty cheap
