ASRock Releases Intel Arc A380 Challenger ITX 6GB OC in China


ASRock Releases Intel Arc A380 Challenger ITX 6GB OC in China

Mid-June, Intel announced the A380, a China-exclusive Arc Alchemist desktop graphics card. ASRock’s Arc A380 Challenger ITX 6GB OC joins the hardware party and brings a bit of competition to the Gunnir Arc A380 Photon 6GB OC.

ASRock detailed their new Intel Arc A380 Challenger ITX 6GB OC on its Chinese site. It’s an overclocked model like the Gunnir. The ASRock card’s GPU boost frequency however is 200 MHz lower than its rival’s.

A better cooler can assist sustain top GPU frequencies, while the ASRock’s GPU is 8 percent slower than the Gunnir’s. Chinese critics say the Gunnir is a well-built device, therefore the ASRock Challenger may not be its biggest rival. Intel partners Acer, Asus, Gigabyte, HP, and MSI should release Arc A380 graphics cards soon. ASRock’s OC card is still 250 MHz faster than reference.

ASRock’s card has slower GDDR6. We can’t be sure about this spec, but the bullet point highlights imply it’s 15.5 Mbps GDDR6. The same product page lists two different prices. ASRock’s ITX form factor is two slots wide but 190mm long, allowing it to fit in smaller chassis. The Challenger ITX OC’s striped axial fan improves airflow. ASRock’s 0dB technology stops the fan when not under stress. ASRock says it pays great attention to minutiae like thermal paste (it utilizes nanotech paste) and screw torques for maximum heat dissipation.

ASRock’s Intel Arc A380 Challenger ITX 6GB OC is on sale now on China’s JD.com(opens in new tab) for 1,299 Chinese Yuan (roughly $192), including the 13% sales tax.

English anchor swimmer Tom Dean got out of the pool before the final swimmer from Gibraltar had finished, but the English will keep their silver medal. Wales got bronze.
