Intel Arc graphics card recreated from 1:1 scale LEGO bricks

This week, the Intel Insiders Community Discord hosted a broadcast dedicated to the Intel Arc and LEGO project. It featured Arc Graphics Technical Marketing Manager and LEGO fan Zach Hill, who has spent the last six months building a life-size model of the Intel Arc A750 graphics card using LEGO bricks. The goal of the project is to recreate the model of the A750 video card as closely as possible from the available elements of the constructor. To do this, Hill used the free BrickLink Studio software package, which allows you to create and visualize projects in 3D using all the LEGO bricks that exist today.

Zach Hill managed to build the graphics card by 80%. There was a problem in the process that turned out to be unrelated to LEGO. It consists in the fact that it is necessary to replace the sticker from Arc A770 to A750. On the air, the presenters discussed the possibility of equipping such a video card with LEDs or even RGB lighting. Theoretically, this was possible (there are lighting kits in LEGO sets), but when creating a 1: 1 scale model, there was simply not enough space.

There has also been an idea to release an official LEGO set to build a video card, but Hill doesn’t share the same enthusiasm yet. Partly because the project is not finished yet. He suggests that the creation of Intel Arc can take up to 6 thousand cubes. And this is about $120, which is almost half the cost of an actual Intel Arc A750 graphics card.
