"AMD & NVIDIA Abandoned This Segment" | Intel Arc GPU Factory Tour with Sparkle

Sponsor: Fractal Momentum Fans on Amazon https://geni.us/JuzhOfE We visit the Sparkle Intel Arc GPU factory to learn about differences between NVIDIA and Intel partnership, the manufacturing processes, and then we show how a video card is made and assembled. This Panram factory works for Sparkle to build Arc series GPUs. In this video, we see multiple different models in various stages of production. These include the Intel Arc B570 (Battlemage) GPU, the A380, and the A310 GPUs. Sparkle notes that NVIDIA and AMD have abandoned the low-end market, and so it's selling thousands of GPUs for those users. After this, watch one of our favorite videos we've ever made - The Final Days of EVGA, also featuring Lucas: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gc0YlQS3Rx4 Watch our AMD RX 9070 XT factory tour with Yeston: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dmXVK9ia5Nc Watch our Tariffs documentary: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1W_mSOS1Qts Watch our Intel fab tour: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IUIh0fOUcrQ The best way to support our work is through our store: https://store.gamersnexus.net/ Like our content?
