Intel arc B580 India: Still waiting - Is this how intel treats its Indian customers ?

[Shashi10]

Hi Intel Community and Intel Representatives,

I'm writing to follow up on the availability of the Intel Arc B580 graphics card in India. I understand that product launches can be complex and that delays sometimes occur. However, it's now been nearly 2 months since the B580's global launch, and we're still awaiting any concrete information about its arrival in India. This lack of communication is concerning and leaves many of us feeling that the Indian market isn't a priority.

I'm particularly interested in the B580 because I'm building a new PC and it fits my performance needs. The continued delay is forcing many of us to consider alternative options, which is disappointing.

My primary question is simple: When can we realistically expect the Arc B580 to be available for purchase in India? A general timeframe (e.g., next week, within the next few months) would be greatly appreciated.

Specifically, I'd like to know:

* Is there a firm release date planned for India? If so, what is it?
* If not, what are the primary factors delaying the launch in India?
* Can Intel commit to providing more regular updates about the B580's India availability, even if it's just to say there's no new news yet? The current silence makes it difficult for us to plan our PC builds or upgrades.

I understand that unforeseen circumstances can arise, but clear and consistent communication is essential. We, the Indian gaming community, are eager to support Intel and the Arc series. However, the lack of information makes it difficult to do so.

Thank you for your time and attention to this matter. I, along with many other Indian gamers, would greatly appreciate a prompt and informative response.

I will wait until its release and will not buy other GPUs in a hurry. Patience is key.

Still nothing, if Intel and its board partners are having production, logistics and supply issues then just announce it. If the launch in India is delayed or never going to happen then let us know instead of being radio silent.

[Vikramaditya_Reddy]

Yes, it would be better if they communicate well. Nvidia are planning for 5060 series in this month, if Intel doesn't provide proper information, people might take up 5060 nvidia series as well. Please respond Intel.

The B580 and B570 are finally in India

Specifically the Asrock versions (available in SCL Gaming and Computech  Store prices at 29-30k for b580 and 25k for B570)

Now to the more important question... why is the Limited edition battlemage gpus which Intel has more control over not available here yet?

[Shashi10]

Yeah. It's been roughly 6 months since the global launch of the Intel Arc B580 limited edition graphic card, and honestly, I'm starting to lose hope for it here in India. We haven't seen a single review unit. I've been waiting patiently, but i can't anymore. I ended up getting the ASRock Challenger Edition instead, because at this point, if the Limited edition isn't available now, I truly feel it's never going to be. It seems "limited" really means truly limited by Units.
