Sparkle confirms to launching Arc A380/A310 GENIE low-profile GPU series

In April of the present year, Sparkle pronounced its alliance with Intel as a graphics card partner, set to launch its inaugural batch of Alchemist series graphics cards. At the beginning of this month, Sparkle unveiled a trio of products: the Titan series, furnished with 2.5 slot triple fans, the Orc series with 2.2 slot dual fans, and the single-fan, 2-slot Elf series. Among these, two models are based on the Alchemist A750, with the remaining one employing the Alchemist A380. All possess a harmonious design style, utilizing a color scheme of blue and black, characterized by their geometrically sound structure, with a starting price of $139.99.

According to reports from VideoCardz, Sparkle has confirmed plans to introduce a single-slot, semi-high, entry-level graphics card, part of the Genie series, with models featuring the Alchemist A380 and Alchemist A310. Initially, Sparkle designed these with industrial applications in mind, yet ultimately, the Genie series will be purposed for commercial use.

The new products maintain the aesthetic design of the Sparkle Alchemist series graphics cards, with a blue radiator casing and a simplistic black single fan. They lack an external power supply interface and are equipped with four mini DP ports. Prototypes of these products were previously exhibited at Computex 2023.

Both the Alchemist A310 and A380 are equipped with the Intel ACM-G11 chip, comprising 6/8 Xe cores and 6/8 ray-tracing units based on the Xe-HPG architecture. With a core frequency of 2000 MHz, they are equipped with two complete Xe media engines, supporting hardware encoding and decoding of VP9, AVC, HEVC, and AV1 formats, as well as a four-channel Xe display engine. They are paired with 64/96-bit GDDR6 graphics memory, boasting a memory capacity of 4/6GB, and speed of 15.5 Gbps.
