Finally, Team Blue has announced the new Intel NUC 13 Extreme mini Gaming PC (code-named Raptor Canyon) powered by their latest 13th Gen Core processors. This new NUC 13 Extreme comes with a space for new triple-slot, 12-inch graphics cards to unleash even more performance for enthusiast gamers and content creators.
The modular Intel NUC 13 Extreme achieves incredible speed with up to a 13th Gen Intel® Core™ i9 desktop processor with eight Performance-cores (P-cores), 16 Efficient-cores (E-cores), 32 threads, and up to an incredible 5.8 GHz max turbo frequency. So, as you see you have no dip in performance even though you will have a small enclosure that technically you can carry anywhere as well.
“This year marks the 10-year anniversary for our impressive lineup of Intel NUC products, and the Intel NUC 13 Extreme (code named Raptor Canyon) is an excellent representation of how far we’ve come. Our first ever NUC demonstrated a breakthrough in the miniaturization of a small desktop PC into an ultra-small PC form factor. While much larger than our tiniest mini-PC, our latest Intel NUC 13 Extreme sets a new bar for how to pack stellar gaming performance in a form factor that is 70% smaller than a typical 50L gaming tower. Along with the epic performance you expect from an Intel NUC product, we also deliver exceptional product quality and feature density in a completely modular and customizable design.”
–Brian McCarson, Intel Vice President and General Manager of the Intel NUC Group
