Intel also posted a chart showing some of the frames per second that are possible with the new Arc A580 GPU. It claims that it can run titles like Blizzard's Diablo IV at up to 155fps, Baldur's Gate 3 at up to 119fps, and Cyberpunk 2077, with XeSS and Ray Tracing turned on at 85fpg.

Intel is not selling its own Arc A580 graphics card, at least not at the moment. However, third parties are selling their own cards with the GPU. You can find two of them on Newegg now.
