Intel Arc GPU Tear-Down: A380 Gunnir Photon Disassembly
9,003Sponsor: EVGA X570 Dark: https://geni.us/C8Tq
In this video, we're tearing-down the Intel Arc A380 GPU on a Gunnir Photon video card. The A380 is Intel's first meaningful jump into the gaming GPU market, so these early cards have to be impressive from the board partners and all the way up to Intel's GPUs. We filmed this after collecting data but prior to writing the review; however, the review is now live! Watch that below.
