Intel Arc B580 drops to $290, becoming the cheapest 12GB graphics card right now
Newegg has discounted two Intel Arc B580 models to $289.99 after promotional codes. The ASRock Challenger and white ONIX LUMI are both listed for this price, making the Arc B580 the cheapest new 12GB graphics card sold directly by a major US retailer.
Intel launched the Arc B580 in December of last year, but its popularity and availability often depend on promotions. Recently, two models of this card — the black ASRock Challenger and the white ONIX LUMI — appeared on Newegg with a $20 discount applied via promo codes.
The final price for both models is $289.99. This makes the Intel Arc B580 the cheapest new graphics card with 12GB of memory among major US retail offers. For comparison, GeForce RTX 3060 12GB listings at Best Buy start around $350, while Radeon RX 7700 XT cards are generally listed above $300.
Specifications and Configuration
Both models use the same chipset: the Arc B580 GPU with 20 Xe cores, a base clock of 2740 MHz, and 12GB of GDDR6 memory. The connection to the motherboard is via a PCI Express 4.0 x8 interface on a 192-bit bus.
Physical dimensions are also similar in key parameters, though the appearance differs:
ASRock Challenger: black dual-fan shroud, 249 mm long, occupying two slots.
ONIX LUMI: white cooler with ARGB lighting, 260 mm long.
Both cards are sold and shipped directly by Newegg. It is important to note that this is not the lowest price for the product's history: upon launch in December 2024, the starting price was $249. Even with the discount, current offers remain $41 above the official entry price.
Market Context
The card is positioned as a budget solution for gamers and enthusiasts who value large video memory volume. However, it should be noted that third-party marketplace sellers list the GeForce RTX 3060 12GB below $290. These offers are not sold directly by major networks like Newegg or Best Buy, and warranty support conditions may differ.
Also worth remembering are past promotions: Arc B580 models were available near $239 during "Intel Gamer Days 2025," when qualifying purchases included a digital copy of Battlefield 6. The current price on Newegg is good, but not a record low.
