Advantech has launched the EAI-3100, essentially a desktop version of Intel's Arc A370M mobile graphics card.

I hope it's dirt cheap, because it's neither a single slot, or low profile for a <75W card.
Looking at the numbers, the A310LP is faster, but maybe if the A370M is unbound it can do better?

For comparison, RX 6400 has around 1.8 times the performance.

IDK, maybe if it's cheap enough, it might be a good AV1 encoding card.

The reason they didn't offer a factory overclock is probably because they're marketing it for embedded systems and guarantee 5-year longevity. Casino/arcade graphics, medical imaging, and detecting manufacturing defects via computer vision are the highlights of their marketing reel. Gonna be competing with the AMD E-series and the Matrox D-Series or Luma line in those applications.

Knowing industrial parts, I'd guess that the validation and enhanced support actually makes it more expensive than a standard A380, and thus a terrible option for "gamers on a very tight budget".

Its on a PCIe card, its not embeded. Embeded is soldiered to the MOBO

A single board system is typically what is thought of, but definitionally an "embedded system" is a single-purpose system that's a part of a larger device/machine. Soldering to the motherboard is not a requirement. If you're using these in an industrial inspection machine, a terminal that controls one specific medical device, or in an arcade cabinet that only runs one game, that's considered embedded computing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embedded_system

Why only max 4 displays? With 2 display ports I expected (2x4) per display port, plus bot HDMI bringing it to a total of 10.

Usual caveeats apply. E.g MST suported, and 1080 TV resolution. Wich is not a bad resulution for walls of displays, though I will take 4K anytime for productivity.

You're not wrong in terms of embedded components, but embedded systems are different, those are systems that are embedded in place, so they don't move. Slot machines, ATM's, PC's that power menu displays at restaurants or ticket listings all over the place, would be considered embedded systems. Those could be systems where all the components are also embedded, or they could be desktops with discrete components. Either way, those components typically have been designed to have long boring service lives and require minimal maintenance.
