Mindfactory has started selling the ASRock Arc B570 Challenger 10 GB graphics card a month before its official release on January 16, 2025. The retailer is also offering the Arc B580 Challenger 12 GB model. The Arc B570 is priced around $286 USD, while the Arc B580 is available for approximately $361 USD. This early sale indicates Mindfactory's effort to meet consumer demand before the formal launch date. The Arc B570 Challenger 10 GB is a less powerful version compared to the Arc B580 12 GB. It has 17% fewer shader units, a lower GPU clock speed, and 2 GB less GDDR6 memory.

The graphics card is based on Intel's Battlemage (Xe2) architecture, uses TSMC's 5nm process with 19.6 billion transistors on a 272 mm² die. Its GPU clock is set at 2,500 MHz, providing an FP32 performance of 11.5 TFLOPS. Currently, Mindfactory is the only retailer listing the Arc B570, as other vendors have not yet included it in their price comparisons or sales platforms. Additionally, other retailers are observing a sales embargo starting the following Friday, especially for the Arc B580 model. On December 15, 2024, Mindfactory updated its stock status, confirming that the Arc B570 remains available at €260.21, which is approximately $286 USD.
