It’s been over a month since Intel officially launched the Intel Arc A380 graphics card in China. However, this does not mean that Chinese PC enthusiasts and DIY enthusiasts can buy the A380 at their favorite retail stores or online. These are only available in pre-built systems or bulk orders. Today, one of China’s largest online electronics retailers has launched the Intel ArcA380 retail box card without bundles or bulk orders.
Follow this link (Opens in a new tab) The JD.com retailer in China has a live product page for the Gungnir Intel Arc A380 Photon 6GOC. The list price is RMB 1,299, which translates directly to $ 192, but please note that the price in China includes 13% sales tax. With a suggested retail price of RMB 1,030 ($ 153), JD.com is still making some additional profit from this product, which has maintained its value for shortage and novelty, at least for now. It seems that. Intel has partnered with many graphics card makers such as Asus, MSI and Gigabyte, as well as PC OEMs such as Acer and HP, so many other brands may soon be available.
The Intel ArcA380 hasn’t emitted such a strong pulse on radar these days. This is because more powerful members of the Alchemist series have been revealed on Intel’s social media blitz. So for now, there are plenty of A380 apps and game benchmarks, overclocking details and more. Meanwhile, the leak of details about the upcoming Intel Arc A750 and Arc A770 has made us even more excited about the competition in the midrange desktop GPU space. On the other side of the scale think I also recently saw the Intel Arc A310.
Having mentioned all of this, it’s worth revisiting the full range specs, as we would expect. See the table below for a clear comparison. This data was taken from our extensive Intel Arc Alchemist: all articles we know.

The advent of more China-based Intel Arc News has probably made enthusiasts impatient with Intel’s plans to launch in the west. In a report on the Arc A770, Intel’s Tom Peterson states that new GPUs such as the A750 and A770 will be released “unknowingly”, so the pain of waiting should be gone soon. However, it’s still unclear if any of Intel’s upcoming Arc Alchemist cards could be the best graphics card summary.
