Intel‘s small computers, the NUCs , have proven in recent years that they are a fantastic solution for those who seek the minimum expression without limiting the performance of the equipment, Among their range, there are some models designed for those who seek maximum power, so this year they couldn’t miss the opportunity to refresh their best model.
Intel NUC 11 Extreme Kit Beast Canyon
With the name of Beast Canyon NUC , Intel has revealed the appearance of its new equipment for small gamers. It is a computer about the size of a NAS that allows the connection of a full-size GPU, thus being the first NUC that allows it to do so.
Being able to connect and use a full-size graphics card changes the rules of the game immediately, since the possibilities multiply, especially if what we want is to play titles of the latest releases.
Best processor
As its name indicates, inside we can find 11th generation Intel Core i5, Core i7 and Core i9 processors, models belonging to the H range that, although they are not completely identical to the truly desktop models, with them we will obtain a magnificent performance with which to stand out in almost all tasks.
All this will be stored in a small chassis whose volume remains at 8 liters, so you can get an idea of how big it will be.
Official presentation at Computex
Intel has not provided full product details at this time. The only thing that they have advanced is that official image with the most outstanding characteristics, but it is still necessary for the manufacturer to go into details and break down each of the benefits that its new equipment offers.
The price will be another of the unknowns that should be revealed, but we imagine that its price will rise a lot than you could expect, since this type of NUCs are quite exclusive, and more so now that you can connect a large GPU to it. As always, the final price will depend on the processor that arrives installed, so the prices can be quite varied.
Everything indicates that it will include PCI Express 4.0 and WiFi 6E, but for the moment the details are up in the air and we will have to keep waiting until the manufacturer decides. Of course, for the first time in a NUC, this model will include RGB LED lights to give a playful touch of light to the team.
