For the desktop, Intel envisages a module for the CPU, a little like the CPU cartridges of yesteryear, that presumably makes a CPU replacement less scary than messing with a fully exposed socket and an array of fragile pins. Intel has tried to get CPU modules going for years now, such as the Compute Element in previous years' NUCs.

The time is right to strike. NVIDIA is dominating the discussion at the high end of the market with its initial GeForcle RTX 50 series lineup, and AMD is expected to release its Radeon RX 9070 XT in the coming weeks. Anticipation is running high, with NVIDIA warning of a possible shortage pertaining to its GeForce RTX 5090 and 5080.

The industry expects the resource-light new model could usher in a wave of more efficient AI models, hurting demand for AI hardware.

AMD might lose out to Nvidia in the desktop GPU department, but it's set to put up a fight within the laptop GPU region.

Thanks to recent hardware advances, the hope of external GPUs going mainstream burns brighter than ever. Here's what you need to know.

Intel’s Arc “Battlemage” desktop graphics card series currently includes the B580 and B570 models. These offerings have been reviewed by independent analysts and are recognized for providing budget-friendly performance.

Intel is proposing a new kind of architecture for laptops and mini PCs that would extend the lifespan of devices and decrease e-waste.

Intel Arc B570 reviews have landed and it's not an entirely different story to the B580, but it does appear that the $30 difference isn't enough

The Intel Arc B580 has been touted as one of the better budget gaming GPUs on the market, but how does it stack up to Nvidia's RTX 4060?

It would be so much easier to recommend the Intel Arc B570 if it was a $199 card, rather than $219. At that price, it’d be 20% cheaper and a much better deal than the B580. Instead, when it comes to a pure value perspective, it’s a wash between the two graphics cards, but you’re going to feel the difference in more demanding PC games.

Intel's Arc B580 graphics cards have been its best-reviewed to date, maintaining the aggressive pricing of the old A-series Arc cards with fewer driver bugs, fewer weird performance outliers, and fewer caveats all around.

Intel's second desktop Battlemage GPU is here, with the Intel Arc B570 joining the Arc B580 this week. Stay tuned for our full review.
