Sparkle is returning to the GPU market with three Intel ARC based GPUs named Titan, Orc, and Elf. No word yet on if there will be a Dragon, Balrog, or Troll models. Sparkle may want to keep an eye out for people dressed in cloaks carrying a ring though.
The Elf model, pictured above, is of particular interest for the SFF market as it’s only 152.6mm long, and features an A380 ARC GPU. It comes with 6GB of VRAM.
The two fan Orc measures in at 222mm long with a 2.2 slot clearance. It features an A750 ARC GPU and a recommendation for a 650 watt or better PSU. That’s a strange PSU requirement for this card.
The final card is the three-fan Titan. It measures in at 2.5 slots in width and 305.5mm in length. It features an A750 ARC GPU and 8GB of VRAM.
All of the cards feature AV1 encoding and decoding acceleration, as well as VP9 bitstream and decoding support. Pricing had not been set at the time of writing.
Additionally, Sparkle posted some interesting design concepts for SFF cases. They’re purely art piece renders, but they’re neat.
Pricing is unknown at this time.
