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

Intel officially launched the Arc A380 "Alchemist" entry-mainstream desktop graphics card in China, priced at RMB ¥1,030, including VAT, which roughly converts to USD $153. The Arc A380 "Alchemist" is based on the Xe-HPG graphics architecture, and the smaller DG2-128 (ACM-G11) silicon, which is built on the TSMC N6 (6 nm) silicon fabrication process.

The A380 desktop GPU is endowed with 8 Xe Cores, or 128 EU (execution units), which work out to 1,024 unified shaders. The chip features a 96-bit wide GDDR6 memory interface, running 6 GB of memory. Despite these hardware specs, you get full DirectX 12 Ultimate capability, including ray tracing, and the XeSS performance enhancement. There are also several content-creation accelerators, including Intel XMX, and AV1 hardware-encode capabilities.

W1zzardI 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

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

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

ravenhold1060 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.

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.

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.

ravenholdDoes 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).
