You can now book an Intel Arc A380 in Newegg

Intel rotation effect And a blow to those who in recent weeks have devoted themselves to considering the dead the most ambitious project that Intel has undertaken in recent years. And yes, we’ve been reading here and there weeks ago some theories…let’s say questionable, that would show that Intel has halted the Intel Arc project and would consider scrapping it for good. Something, who knows, could happen, but this is wholly unjustified with the arguments used to defend such theories.

This seems to be true The project encountered some problems that delayed the originally planned schedule for launches, but when evaluating this situation, we must not forget about two important points. The first is that developing a GPU from scratch is very complicated. A few weeks ago, our colleagues from MuyComputerPRO published a news about Launch of the Glenfly Arise GT-10C0a low-quality graphics card that is 100% Chinese designed and produced, and it took 15 years since it took shape until it hit the market.

Intel does not know where to turn? Thinking about this is so absurd that it hurts. Errors and delays are obviously a problem, but you have to make great effort to believe that Intel didn’t notice this possibility when the project started. With over 20 years professionally dedicated to collecting lyrics, I know that sometimes I still make mistakes, but they don’t make me think about quitting. However, one of the most important technology companies in the history of this sector would not be aware of the same fact, which is for everyone? I think the conclusion is clear, and also the fatalism sell works very well, unfortunately.

We’ve been telling you this over the past weeks There are already many manufacturers that have announced desktop computers with Intel graphics cards. they were first ASUS and MSIAnd after only one week, Acer joined. Personally, I’d say it seems strange to imagine three manufacturers of this caliber advertising equipment based on a solution they haven’t tested and that could soon be scrapped, don’t you think? I’m not saying it’s impossible, keep in mind, but it seems completely unlikely.

And if desktop computers with Intel graphics have been “spotted” until now, today we are witnessing another interesting progress in this regard, which is Renowned retailer Newegg It is included in its catalog Intel Arc A380 Graphics Card. Even more interesting is that it is not a graphic produced by Intel, but by one of its partners in this adventure, ASRock. It can’t be purchased yet but the retailer has already made reservations possible, and as we can read on the web, It is expected to go on sale on August 22ndMonday, next week.

The card is called ASRock Challenger Arc A380 ITXAnd the At $139.99. As you can see in the pictures, it has a fan and these are its main specifications:

• PCIe 4.0 . slot
• Intel Arc A380 graphics
• Clock frequency: 2250MHz
• Six GB of GDDR6 RAM at 15.5 Gbps
• 1 x HDMI 2.0b
• 3x DisplayPort 2.0
• 8-pin power connector
• 8K support (7680 x 4320 dots)

Thus, it is possible that the first anticipated Intel Arc Alchemist will reach international markets in less than a week. Obviously, we’ll have to wait for confirmation that this is the case, and therefore, Intel Arc has left the Asian markets that Intel chose for its first launch. It will be very interesting, if confirmed, See what those who claim that this will never happen are saying.
