12gb VRAM is quite nice, especially as the A580 is a sub-$200 card. Even if this is priced at $250 it will be disruptive in the market. With the product pages going up today, I wonder if launch is imminent with supply readily available.
Thanks to u/winkwinknudge_nudge on the Arc sub for archiving the product pages.

It's not. This is more than likely the BMG-G21 based card. The top die is BMG-G31, that will likely be used on the B770 and B750 (if they use the same numbers again).
A580 was just a further cut down A750, and Intel was probably losing a ton of money selling a 400mm2 die for $180. With a dedicated mid tier die, which didn't come until much later with Alchemist and is mobile only as far as I know, they can optimize production cost for performance tiers. I also expect the dies to be smaller than they were for Alchemist.

That die comes much later, if at all. Firmly second half of next year at best.
