The MAXSUN Arc B580 graphics card includes two M.2 PCIe 4.0 x4 ports to take advantage of PCI Express X16

graphics cards Intel Arc B580 with Battlemage GPU Announced last week, they introduce the new Intel Xe2 core architecture, in addition to being accompanied by 12 GB of GDDR6 memory.

As a mid-range GPU, it does not require the use of all the PCI Express lines of the X16 port and, in fact, although it has a connector of that length to better physically hold the card, The GPU only uses a PCI Express 4.0 8x link.

For take advantage of these 8 remaining PCIe 4.0 lanes, the Chinese company MAXSUN is creating a special version of the Intel Arc B580 that integrates two M.2 ports with PCIe 4.0 x4 connectivity each one, in that way, two high-performance SSDs can be added and fully use the 16 lanes of the PCIe x16 port.

In addition to the two M.2 ports, this card offers an integrated heatsink to cool both SSDs, along with a huge cooling system made up of two blocks of aluminum fins, several heatpipes and three fans.

At the moment there are no details about its price and availability, but there is no doubt that MAXSUN continues to create quite striking models within a market saturated with solutions that are very similar to each other. In the past we already saw models like its huge RTX 4090 with 5 fans, or the variant of the RTX 4070 that once again used 8-pin PCIe connectors for power.
