First Intel Arc GPU debuts in China with a cheap price tag
Intel Arc GPUs are slowly, but surely, making their way into the gaming PC scene, and the company just unveiled its A380 desktop entry in China. While its entry-level graphics card targets a 1080p 60fps experience, its affordable price tag could help the blue team claim some ground within the budget builds scene.
Highlighted by Videocardz, the A380 Intel Arc GPU packs 6GB GDDR6 VRAM and a 96-bit memory bus. It's also got higher bandwidth speeds than its mobile counterpart at 192GB/s. Benchmarks provided by the company suggest it's capable of running games at 1080p 60fps with medium settings enabled. In addition, Intel says the card supposedly outpaces AMD's featherweight contender, as it's supposedly 25% faster. than the Radeon RX 6400.
There are plenty of low-spec graphics cards already on the market, and Nvidia is scheduled to release its GeForce GTX 1630. Yet, the Intel Arc A380 card's spec and the price could tempt budget build enthusiasts, as it comes in at 1,030 yuan (roughly $150 USD). Of course, that's providing the desktop option actually makes its way overseas any time soon, as the company is still dragging its feet with its Arc gaming laptop graphics chips.
