👁 Unigine Superposition benchmark with settings of Resolution: 2560 x 1440, Mode: Fullscreen, Quality: Low, Renderer: OpenGL. Arc B580: May 2025 was the fastest.

For the OpenGL performance with the Unigine Superposition benchmark there was minimal difference to either the Intel Arc Alchemist or Battlemage graphics cards.

👁 yquake2 benchmark with settings of Renderer: Vulkan, AF: Off, MSAA: On, Resolution: 2560 x 1440. Arc B580: May 2025 was the fastest.

With YQuake2 there were significant improvements here across all tested graphics cards, due namely to the testing on Intel Arrow Lake where previously for this game was being tasked to the E cores but now on the newer kernel was properly punted to the P cores for better performance.

👁 Geometric Mean Of All Test Results benchmark with settings of Result Composite, Intel Arc Graphics A770 B570 B580 Linux Gaming Benchmarks. Arc B580: May 2025 was the fastest.

Across these graphics/gaming tests and others, overall seeing about 10% better performance on Linux 6.14 + Mesa 25.2-devel atop Ubuntu 25.04 compared to the performance found back during launch day for the Arc B580 and B570 graphics cards. Additional comparison tests including with the fresh compute stack will be coming up shortly on Phoronix.
