SPARKLE releases another GUARDIAN
Sparkle is introducing the third Arc B580 graphics card.
The TITAN series, available in blue and white color schemes, are the highest-end SKUs in Sparkle’s offer. They ship with a boost clock reaching 2740 MHz and offer the most capable triple-fan cooling solutions.
Sparkle is also introducing dual-fan models, called GUARDIAN, which were already revealed for the B570 series. The GUARDIAN B580 model did not have a release date, nor was any information shared when the company first announced this SKU in December. The first B580 cards that were launched were the blue TITAN and later the white TITAN LUNA, which, from what we can tell, is still not available for sale.

The GUARDIAN model is now listed by Sparkle on the official website, it is most likely a candidate to be priced at MSRP ($249), which hasn’t changed since the product launch. The card will have a default Intel TDP of 190W and a boost clock of 2670 MHz.

As we can see in the original product roadmap, Intel planned for three tiers of B580 cards, each differing in power metrics. The ROC LUNA OC Ultra card has not been released or even confirmed yet, but it should still be expected to debut this month.

Once this model is launched, Sparkle will offer four B580 cards, which is just as many as GUNNIR, Intel’s largest board partner. The B580 Guardian isn’t listed for sale yet, but it does appear on some retailer sites with a note that the GPU was backordered and will be available in early April.
