Intel Arc A380 Desktop Graphics Card Launched in China at $153 (equivalent)

[AusWolf]

Some say it 25% faster than Radeon RX 6400. It seem they are targeting it for only MMO gamers.

So 6500 XT level, then. If it can match that with good efficiency and price, it'll be fine. Not great, but fine. Shame that it's China only, though.

I would totally order one for review. Any idea where I can find it? Seems like a paper launch?

Looks like a paper launch to me. Not even seeing any ads or even placeholders in any official distributors in China

What's the use from AV1 all movies are h265

Streaming will switch first, the rest will follow. 4x density I believe.

Let me know when anything pops up, so I can order one

1060 won't be able to run some flagship heavy graphics games over 30 FPS next year.

Many budget gamers don't care about AAA's. The segment is dominated by "e-sports", Indie's and older games. If this lights a fire under AMD & nVidia's asses in the long-neglected "Actually Budget (tm)" segment enough that they stop taking the p*ss with RX6400 and $300 3050's "replacing" the $150 1650S after literally 3 years of doing nothing, it'll actually be a good thing for the market.

e-sports graphics demand is very low. What about GPU demanding games with budget GPU ?
6500 runs next gen Matrix city demo sub 20 FPS. Announced open world games will take a huge hit too.

$150? Intel could be the saviour for the mainstream masses who are happy with 720/1080 and not cutting edge games.

GPU paper lunch ... Intel ?! No way.

If it were a real launch, we'd have real benchmark submissions en-masse now. The news is almost two days old at this point and there's basically no real-world user data to prove the cards are in the hands of the public.

Even China has review channels. I'd have expected to see it on chiphell if it were real.

Anyone have seen any intel paid benches?

Not yet - looking like a paper launch still.

The closest we have is a laptop leak last week.

I clicked on it last night and had a dodgy looking listing where the second photo showed a low-profile DG1 80EU card from last year.
It was probably listed in error or taken down for attempting to sell an ES, as I also now get that error message.

Nvidia 3000 Series was similar, it had much more media review exposure of course to try and hide it due to Nvidia prioritising parts for the media. I expect these launches are going to be standard for a while on GPUs.

OCUK e.g. I believe was unable to fulfill over 2k orders, the AIBs abandoned the SKUs whilst they still owed units to retailers.

Same too now. Must have been taken down.

i got the below message:

It seems lt was listed enough in order the +25% perf/$ RX6400 comparison to be made, lol, jk

We run some low-level performance tests on Intel Arc A370m: https://tellusim.com/intel-arc370/
A good driver is strictly required for the new GPU.

Does M mean mobile GPU?

 

[Tellusim]

Does M mean mobile GPU?

Yes, mobile GPU must be ~20% slower than discrete because of lower clocks/bandwidth.
But the number of units is the same (8 + 8).
