On April 14th, Intel officially unveiled the edge and embedded versions of its Arc A series discrete graphics cards, featuring up to six models and attracting numerous partners, offering a much broader range of products compared to gaming cards.

For instance, one standout model is the Arc A380E crafted by ADLink, with its remarkable features. With a thickness of only a single slot and a height equivalent to just half of a standard card, it resembles an ultra-slim blade card, adding a touch of charm to its functionality. s_ad12738465c045e18f95f7ccf50dce8d.jpg Due to its modest specifications, with only 8 Xe cores, and a power consumption of less than 50W, even lower than Intel's reference specification of 75W, it doesn't require external power supply, with cooling handled by just a small fan.

It features four mini DisplayPort output interfaces.

This card is tailored for edge AI applications, such as video walls, gaming consoles, and gaming machines, among others. s_a233bebe6879418fb6587aa5a3368aed.jpg Advantech has also designed the Arc A380E, a mini ITX card shaped like a graphics card, equipped with a single fan. However, it requires dual slot space and features four full-size DisplayPort interfaces. s_b191c1e7ca9a490f98f266746aa39cf3.jpg
