Product Information

The graphics card market was once a battleground with several companies fighting for dominance, but that dwindled to just ATI (now part of AMD) and Nvidia about two decades ago, and no one else has come credibly close to throwing their hat into this ring. Unfortunately, Intel’s efforts with Arc so far have proven largely a fizzle, judging by the time we've spent so far with our A380 card.

strtoupper('s')triped axial fandesigned for enhanced airflow asrock’s custom striped axial fan delivers enhanced airflow to optimize cooling from not only the stripe structure on each fan blade but also the polishing surface on the bottom side'. The fundamental building block of an Arc GPU is the Render Slice, which is similar to an AMD Compute Unit. Memory support on the Arc 380 includes 6GB of GDDR6 RAM that connects to the GPU core over a 96-bit memory interface.

It's possible the company has purposefully labeled their components so as to leave ambiguity in this area. Based on the fact Intel ® Arc graphics are the first in the market to be able to have AV1 encoding support (as of Q1 2022).

We snapped one up, and as a result, our first Arc sample to review is Asrock’s Intel Arc A380 Challenger ITX 6GB OC. Tests that use ray tracing, such as F1 22, can be run on these cards with the feature disabled, but this would give those cards an advantage. The chart shows system power consumption as a whole, not just the power of the graphics card, but even so the Arc A380 still turned in the lowest active power readings of any card we have tested. In this case, we only got the latter as the software refused to load the temperature charts with the Arc A380.
