This is our first Intel Arc GPU benchmark & review (other than the DG1) for a true gaming desktop video card from Intel. The Arc A380 competes with the AMD RX 6400 closest, maybe the GT 1630 (we’ll see), and aims to be a $130-$150 card. The A380 launched only in China at first, but will very likely find its way into the rest of the world’s markets. The Intel Arc A750 is coming next, and we have shots of that in this video, but we don’t have a price target on it yet. These cards also have AV1 capabilities, which is something we’ll look at in a future piece!
