HKC/Sambada enters discrete GPU market, powered by Intel Arc
Sambada introduces Intel Arc A-Series desktop graphics cards
HKC is a company specializing in display technology, providing screens for smartphones, laptops, and TVs. The company has recently announced a partnership with Sambada, who is introducing three new graphics cards: Arc A770, Arc A750, and Arc A380, each with a completely different design.
It wouldn’t be accurate to claim that Sambada Arc GPUs are entirely new, though. While the colors and I/O brackets are new, the design and cooler themselves appear to be based on Sparkle’s design . The “Obsidian” series, featuring a black cooler with gold accents, is based on Sparkle’s TITAN and ORC series. However, the Moonlight (white) cooler appears to be an entirely new design.
Apart from the bracket (featuring the HKC logo) and new color scheme, there is a third noticeable change. Unlike the Sparkle Arc GPUs, which all feature a blue PCB, these cards use a traditional black PCB.

Sambada is not confirming the clock speeds for their cards, but one should assume they are similar or identical to Sparkle’s.

Three of the new cards were all put on sale with estimated deliveries starting in two weeks. The official store has a promotion that takes 170 to 520 RMB off the final price, which leads to the following preorder pricing:
- Sambada Arc A770 Obsidian: 1979 RMB (274 USD)
- Sambada Arc A750 Obsidian: 1529 RMB (212 USD)
- Sambada Arc A380 Moonlight: 829 RMB (115 USD)
Seems like good pricing for a newcomer.
