Intel is getting more attention from board partners. Taiwanese Biostar which is now offering AMD Radeon and NVIDIA GeForce series, will soon launch its first Intel Arc graphics card. The first Arc GPU from Biostar appears to be based on Arc A380 SKU, so a low-end model for starters.
The first photos of this design were shared by Wccftech editor, Hassan Mujtaba, who spotted the GPU on at the Biostar Computex booth. It shows a small Mini-ITX design with a single fan and aluminum heatsink. This is a plain design for an entry-level card without any additional features.

More importantly, Biostar will now become a fourth company to offer GPUs from all three major vendors. Thus far, only Gigabyte and MSI launched Radeon/GeForce/Arc GPUs to the market, but Acer has just announced they are working on Radeon series. This means that there will soon be now four companies ‘playing all cards’.
Companies that offer AMD, Intel, and NVIDIA GPUS:
- Biostar
- Gigabyte
- MSI
- Acer
Other Intel Arc vendors:
- Acer
- ASRock
- Matrox
- Gunnir
- Sparkle
As of now, Biostar has not introduced any other Arc GPUs, but it is common for new vendors to start with the cheapest SKUs before going all in.
