What is the point of this card?

It appears it exists to:

• Match the price of the RX6500 (or the RX6400 . . the EVGA model is going for $199.99, though)
• Match the power consumption of the A380/GTX 1650
• Perform worse (?) than the A380

Though, I can't say for sure whether the higher clocks relative to the 1650 compensate for the rest of what was cut down. It doesn't seem like it should, though, at least to me.

This feels like the ryzen 3700x Completely pointless

I'd be really curious to know what chip it has for encoding/decoding. While it might suck for gaming, it might be awesome for an HTPC, or Plex server

Very good point!

As opposed to the A380 for less money?

depends on what chips they have for encoding and decoding. There are easy hacks for NVidia drivers that let you open up more parallel streaming, something that many Plex users are interested in.
