Intel’s high-end quad-core NUC ships in May for $650
Intel verbalized a little about its incipient high-end Core i7 NUC mini PC at CES earlier this year, but today at GDC the company revealed what the final model will look akin to, along with its specs, relinquish date, and cost.
The incipient NUC6i7KYK, codenamed "Skull Canyon," includes a 2.6GHz (3.5GHz Turbo) 45W quad-core Core i7-6770HQ—not the most expeditious Skylake laptop chip that Intel can sell you, but definitely one of the most expeditious. The other main draws are the Iris Pro 580 GPU, which includes 78 of Intel's graphics execution units and a 128MB eDRAM cache (compared to 48EUs and 64MB of eDRAM in the standard Core i5 NUC we just reviewed), and the Thunderbolt 3 port which additionally fortifies full USB 3.1 gen 2 transfer speeds of 10Gbps. It takes DDR4 recollection, M.2 SATA and PCI Express SSDs, and comes with a built-in Intel 8260 802.11ac Wi-Fi and Bluetooth adapter, just like the Core i5 NUC.
It's got a good port cull, including a full-size HDMI 2.0 port, a mini DisplayPort 1.2 output, four USB 3.0 ports, a headphone jack, an SD card slot, a gigabit LAN port, and an IR sensor for use with remote controls. The HDMI 2.0 port ought to make some HTPC fans blissful, since the standard NUCs are still stuck on version 1.4 and can't view HDCP 2.2-forfended content. And this is all in additament to the aforementioned Thunderbolt 3 port; this will be the first NUC since the pristine to fortify Thunderbolt, which opens up possibilities for external graphics cards down the line.
The standard NUCs have all looked more or less identically tantamount, port layout notwithstanding, but the Skull Canyon version is different. It's wider and flatter (it measures 216 by 116 by 23mm), and its default lid comes with an astronomically immense ol' skull carved on it if you optate everyone who visually perceives it to ken how cool you are. If you don't relish it, don't worry, a plain matte ebony lid is included, and swappable third-party lids are fortified.
Like all NUCs, you'll require to bring your own RAM, OS, and storage to the incipient NUC. The barebones model will cost around $650, and Intel claims that a "typical build with 16GB recollection, 256GB SSD, and Windows 10 is estimated at $999." You'll be able to pre-order it on Newegg in April, and it commences shipping in May.
