ASRock launches its first Intel Arc Alchemist desktop graphics card

So far, only one board partner has released a custom Intel Arc Alchemist graphics card. That is changing this month, with ASRock revealing its first Intel Arc graphics card – a small, ITX version of the A380. 

Like the reference cooling solution used by Intel on the Arc A380, the new ASRock Arc A380 Challenger ITX 6GB OC uses a single fan to cool the unit. With 0dB fan technology, the fan only spins up when required, allowing for silent operation at low loads.

The ASRock Arc A380 Challenger ITX 6GB OC uses the ACM-G11 GPU with 1,024 FP32 cores. However, this one comes factory overclocked at 2,250MHz. As for the memory, there's 6GB GDDR6 at 15.5Gbps. A single 8-pin power connector powers the card. Available video outputs include 3x DisplayPorts 2.0 and an HDMI 2.0b.

For now, only ASRock's Chinese website has a product page for the ASRock Arc A380 Challenger ITX 6GB OC. The graphics card is already available for ¥1299 (about £158).

Earlier today, a KitGuru reader reached out to us to let us know about a rather bold claim from a retailer based in the Netherlands. Our reader Ben, who spent €3399 on an MSI RTX 5090 Suprim more than a month ago, was informed by the store that they would not receive their graphics card anytime soon due to a 'product recall'. Specifically, the claim was made that Nvidia had recalled a number of RTX 5090 graphics cards due to a potential fire hazard.
