Without much publicity, Biostar announced its first graphics card based on the Intel Arc graphics processor. This add-in board is aimed at entry-level gaming PCs and is clearly not very noteworthy in and of itself. But the fact that Intel has a new AIB partner and Biostar has graphics cards with GPUs from all three of his major vendors is a significant development for the industry as a whole.
The Biostar Intel Arc A380 graphics card demonstrated at Computex 2023 is based on the ACM-G11 processor and features a minimalist design with a fairly simple single-fan cooler. AIB does not require an auxiliary PCIe power connector and fits most new or existing desktops (including Mini-ITX desktops), so it can be used for both new PCs and upgrades. It is unclear if Biostar plans to offer these products worldwide.

His Biostar addition in this case seems like a significant event in Intel’s targeting of his GPU business, especially the entry-level segment of the market.
Speaking of Biostar, it’s worth noting that while the company announced Radeon RX 7900 series and Radeon RX 7600 series graphics cards, it has yet to offer a new product based on NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 40 series GPUs. increase. In fact, it’s unclear if the company has any of these plans, and its presence on Computex doesn’t reveal its intentions.
