Intel Arc A380
Intel's entry-level Arc Alchemist desktop GPU, launched in China in mid-2022 at $139 with 8 Xe-cores, 6GB of GDDR6 and 8 dedicated ray tracing units. Aimed at 1080p esports and everyday use, it pairs hardware AV1 encoding with a 75W power draw, though in review testing its gaming performance was inconsistent against older budget rivals.
Pros
- Excellent hardware AV1 and H.265 video encoding for the price
- 6GB of GDDR6 memory, more than typical rivals in its class
- 8 dedicated ray tracing units at an entry-level price point
- Competitively priced at $139 as a third alternative to AMD and Nvidia
Cons
- In review testing, gaming performance was inconsistent and sometimes only matched a 2016-era budget card
- Driver maturity issues and some broken features at launch
- 96-bit memory bus limits bandwidth versus higher-tier cards
- Some retail cards add an 8-pin power connector despite the card's modest 75W power draw
