Next Unit of Computing
Small form factor PC designed by Intel

Next Unit of Computing (Intel NUC) is a line of small-form-factor barebone computer kits featuring compact motherboards roughly 10 × 10 cm in size, originally launched in 2013 with Sandy Bridge-based CPUs and evolving through generations up to Meteor Lake-based processors. Standard kits include the board, a plastic case (Tall or Slim), fan, power supply, and a VESA mounting plate. In 2023, Intel ceased developing NUC mainboards and mini PCs, transferring production and support to ASUS. ASUS introduced new models at CES 2024, including the NUC 14 Pro, NUC 14 Pro+, and the first ROG NUC, with the NUC 14 Pro AI showcased at IFA Berlin 2024.

First generation

Sandy Bridge

The first generation Intel NUC launched in the first quarter of 2013.11 This UCFF motherboard and system kit are codenamed Ski Lake (DCP847SK) and Deep Canyon (DCCP847DY) respectively.

Second generation

Ivy Bridge

The base UCFF motherboard and kit without Thunderbolt or USB 3 are codenamed Golden Lake (D33217GK) and Ice Canyon (DC3217IY) respectively. The Thunderbolt capable UCFF motherboard and kit are codenamed Campers Lake (D33217CK) and Box Canyon (DC3217BY) respectively. The USB 3 capable UCFF motherboard and kit are codenamed Rend Lake (D53427RK) and Horse Canyon (DC53427HY) respectively.

The stripped-down DC3217BY model has a signature red top cover and no Ethernet. This model, while stocks were still available, generally sold for a deep discount. The absence of Ethernet may be mitigated by using a USB 2.0 to 10/100 fast Ethernet dongle based upon the Kawasaki LSI one-chip adapter (KL5KUSB102, for example), or a similar dongle based upon a Realtek chip; the Kawasaki Logic dongle requires a proprietary driver for macOS X, whereas the driver for the Realtek dongle is built into macOS X. The DC3217BY runs macOS X (10.9, and any of its updates) flawlessly as the processor's HD4000 is fully supported by macOS X.

Third generation

Bay Trail-M

This UCFF motherboard (DN2820FYB) and system kit (DN2820FYKH) model were codenamed Forest Canyon. The DN2820FYKH product itself is mis-marked DN2820FYK, but the retail package, all retail documentation, and Intel's web site correctly identify this product as DN2820FYKH. The "H" indicates support for internal 2.5" media, SSD or HDD. There is no "non-H" version of this product as it does not include an on-board mSATA connector, hence media which is external to the board is mandatory, and hence the "H" version.

This product introduced a new 12V 3A "wall wart" power supply in place of the previous 19V 3.42A laptop-style power brick and its IEC 60320-C5 "Mickey Mouse" type AC power cord. Four region-specific plug-on adapters, including North America and three overseas countries, are included in the retail package.

These models shipped with the problematic BIOS revision 13, however this revision did not recognise most low voltage SO-DIMMs and would report as having zero capacity. Keyboard escapes for BIOS interfacing had been problematic, legacy booting was not supported, and it had been elected to only include UEFI booting. BIOS revision 48 has been released and resolved the problems, enabling the recognition of most low voltage SO-DIMMs, keyboard escapes and legacy booting.

NUC 13 Pro Desk Edition (Vivid Canyon)

The Intel NUC 13 Pro Desk Edition, codenamed Vivid Canyon, was released to select regions in Q2 2023. Unlike previous iterations of the NUC Pro series that came in a black chassis, the Pro Desk Edition featured a slim, silver aluminum exterior and white lid.

NUC 13 Extreme (Raptor Canyon)

The 13th generation of NUC Extreme models, codenamed Raptor Canyon, launched in Q4 2022. The NUC 13 Extreme Kit featured a larger chassis than past iterations, allowing for a full-sized 3-slot discrete graphics card such as the GeForce RTX 4090 to be installed. This was the last NUC Extreme series to be produced.

NUC 13 Rugged (Bravo Canyon)

The NUC 13 Rugged line was first announced in May 2023 by Intel but later released by ASUS in early 2024. The fanless, ruggedized NUCs are based on Alder Lake-N processors and are the successor to the NUC 8 Rugged49 released in 2019.

Fourteenth generation

Subsequent generations after Raptor Lake are exclusively designed, produced, and manufactured by ASUS.

Meteor Lake

NUC 14 Pro and Pro+ (Revel Canyon)

The 14th generation of NUC models, codenamed Revel Canyon, are based on Intel's Series 1 Core Ultra processors.50

ROG NUC

The first ROG NUC, announced July 6, 2024, has a 2.5-liter case, Core Ultra Series 1 processors, and discrete Nvidia RTX 40 series graphics.51

Lunar Lake

NUC 14 Pro AI / Pro AI+

The NUC 14 Pro AI was announced December 2024, and has a Core Ultra Series 2 processor (226V, 228V, 256V, 258V, or 288V.)52

Fifteenth generation

Arrow Lake

NUC 15 Pro and Pro+ (Cyber Canyon)

The NUC 15 Pro, codenamed Cyber Canyon, was announced February 11, 2025 and uses either Core 3, Core 5, Core 7, or Core Ultra Series 2 (Arrow Lake) processors.5354

ROG NUC (2025) / NUC 15 Performance

ASUS announced an upgraded version of the ROG NUC on June 19, 2025. Both it and the NUC 15 Performance have a 3-liter case size, use Core Ultra Series 2 HX processors, and include a discrete Nvidia RTX 50 series mobile GPU.5556

Reception and ecosystem

The NUC was seen by some reviewers as Intel's response to (or adoption of) the Apple Mac Mini format,57 although NUC is actually smaller, physically.5859 Given its kit nature, other reviewers have seen it as a more powerful Raspberry Pi,60 particularly since the NUC boards could be bought without a case.61 The NUC can also be seen as an extension or continuation of Intel's earlier mobile-on-desktop (MoDT) initiative that was spearheaded by AOpen as early as 2004.626364

Most of the third-generation NUCs come in two case sizes, one with room for a 2.5-inch drive, and one without. The smaller case, although lacking room for a 2.5" drive, still has an internal SATA connector (including SATA power).65666768 Some larger third-party cases have appeared that can fit such drives.69

The Intel case is actively cooled with a fan. Silent PC Review notes that “The original Intel NUC had "the distinction of being the quietest fan-cooled mini-computer we've come across." The NUC D54250WYK [Haswell-based], with the same cooling system, sounds exactly the same. In normal use, you can't hear the fan until your ear is inches from the unit.”70 Nevertheless, passively cooled third-party cases have appeared on the market as well.71 Larger or metallic third-party cases also provide lower operating temperatures.72

A review by the Tech Report of the pre-production 2012-vintage NUC found that the NUC would seize up after a few gigabytes were transferred over wireless and that the problem could be alleviated by better cooling of the NUC case. Intel later increased the default fan speed for production machines through a BIOS update (downloadable from Intel's web site for "early adopters").73

Regarding power consumption, in their review of the D54250WYK with a Haswell i5-4250, Silent PC Review concluded that "An idle power level of just 6 W and typical use power barely into two digits is very impressive in one sense; in another sense, it's what you find in current Ultrabooks using similar components."74

Other companies have subsequently adopted a form factor similar, but not identical, to Intel's NUC. For example, Gigabyte Technology launched their BRIX series, which attempts to differentiate itself using more powerful components, up to the i7-4770R processor, which embeds Intel Iris Pro Graphics.75

Operating system support

NUCs support UEFI compatible operating systems, such as Microsoft Windows, as well as most distributions of Linux. Additionally, they can be used for virtualization with a variety of different hypervisor hosts; multiple NUCs can be used together to create a home lab for learning purposes.7677

It is technically possible, with some limitations in functionality, to install an unauthorized copy of MacOS on a NUC, creating a "Hackintosh". The pre-Haswell Core i3 and Core i5 NUCs will run OS X 10.9 Mavericks well.

Skylake and Broadwell-based NUC is also a supported device in Google Fuchsia OS.78
