Intel Arc B570
The Intel Arc B570 is the budget sibling of the B580 in Intel's Battlemage lineup. It offers 10 GB of GDDR6 at 360 GB/s for $219. While it's a step down from the B580, it still provides solid local AI capability for the price with Intel's IPEX-LLM framework.
Quick verdict
At $219, the B570 offers 10 GB VRAM which is enough for 7-8B models with room for context. The B580's 12 GB is worth the $30 premium, but if you find the B570 on sale for under $200, it's a capable entry into local AI.
