The Intel NUC Serpent Canyon will be another model in the chip giant’s own line of compact computers. She appeared in the Chinese media before her official announcement and is confirmed to be version of a series of game-focused enthusiasts.

Intel NUC is the industry benchmark for mini-PCs. It has been on the market for many years and excels in component integration, compact dimensions and good connectivity. If Intel has so far combined its processors with dedicated graphics from other providers (mainly NVIDIA), this model is committed to “keeping everything at home” and, by the way, taking advantage of the company’s return to the dedicated market.

Intel NUC Serpent Canyon: Compact, powerful and interconnected

Intel relies on an internal foundation that combines and Core i7-12700H with Arc A770M GPU. The CPU is a 45-watt chip with 14 cores and 20 fibers and a working frequency of up to 4.7 GHz. The GPU is a mobile version, but top notch, cwith 32 Xe cores, 32 ray tracing units, 512 execution units and 16 GB dedicated GDDR6 memory.

With these components, the device should offer very good performance. Logically, while maintaining a compact size, it is larger than a typical NUC (12 cm) and is expected to take up 2.5 liters. Their connectivity It’s not bad at all and the front and back will contain the following:

• 6 USB 3.2 Type A ports.
• 2 Thunderbolt ports 4.
• 1 2.5 Gbps Ethernet port.
• 1 HDMI 2.1 port.
• 2 DisplayPort 2.0 ports.
• Two 3.5mm audio jacks

Intel NUC Serpent Canyon has not been officially announced and we do not know the availability date or price. With the Arc A770M graphics card being installed coming to market this summer, the device is likely to be launched this quarter. We are already updating.
