I don't know of a better value right now. For gaming anyways, my card works well.
I think intel in the past is not known for firing people, yeah things have changed lately but they were known for huge benefits for tenured employees. I think if anything historically they've probably had too many employees.
Plus apparently the US government/Trump wants to keep them going.

At 1080p and 1440p, the 3070 does a little to a lot better... and you can find plenty for similar price.
Why would this Intel be better? Yes I see 12GB vs 8GB, but that didn't seem to do much in games even at 1440p. No way expecting 4k on either card to be playable unless setting are turned way down.
Thanks!

As a video card for gaming, expect 12GB to be more important as time goes on. People that want to play at 1440p are already hitting the ceiling with 8GB cards on some titles.
The B580 is a decent GPU with a modest price. I don't think it's bad choice for many use cases. I would view it as a sidegrade to a 3070 very rarely worth making the switch. Just keep stacking bills and get something significantly better in the future.

Currently 12GB of VRAM is bottlenecking 3440x1440 in some games. I have a 3080 12GB and I can 100% attest to that. IFF intel manages to keep on top of drivers this ARC card will age better than the NVIDIA card, but that is a huge amount of trust in Intel to finish what they started.
For one who said my "statement is complete nonsensical" I just l clicked through a bunch of videos comparing the exact same two cards and the 3070 was equal or %20 faster for all the games I saw.
For the AV1 encoding, that's great to know! My focus was on gaming @ 1440p. As noted above, comparison vids seemed to show the 3070 better all around.
I totally get the attraction of 12GB... but IMHO, keeping frame rate playable is far more important than eye candy in games.
too each their own.

I have no access to any insider information, but the internal and public statements that have made about Arc, shows that Intel is dedicated to it in the long run, despite the recent NVIDIA partnership.
