Same design as the R570 Guardian
Sparkle has launched yet another Intel Arc B580 SKU, this time as a part of the Guardian series, coming with a dual-fan cooler and a standard GPU boost clock. It should launch at the MSRP of $249.
Unlike the flagship Sparkle Titan series, the Guardian series comes with a dual-fan cooler and sticks mostly to reference boost clocks. As spotted by Videocardz.com, the Sparkle Arc B580 Guardian has a 2,670MHz GPU clock and keeps the TDP at 190W. In case you missed it, it is based on the BMG-G21 GPU with 2,560 Xe2 cores (20 EUs), and 12GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit memory interface.
The Sparkle Arc B580 Guardian should launch at $249 MSRP, and it is already listed in Europe for €319, with availability expected for mid-March. Sparkle has yet another SKU lined up for February, the all-white Arc R580 ROC Luna OC Ultra, which should have the highest factory-overclock.
