Best CPUs for Intel Arc B570

The smaller Battlemage card, carrying ten gigabytes where most of its competition offers eight. That extra memory is the argument, same as with its larger sibling, and at this price it is a persuasive one for a 1080p machine. It needs Resizable BAR to perform as intended, which quietly disqualifies a lot of the older systems that would otherwise be its natural home.

Ranked below: 15 CPUs against the Intel Arc B570 at 1440p, balanced pairings first, then by bottleneck %.
