Intel shows off the NUC 13 Extreme Codenamed Raptor Canyon
The previously exposed NUC Extreme roadmap shows that Intel will use the NUC 13 Extreme code-named “Raptor Canyon” and the computing module NUC 13 Extreme Compute Element code-named “Shrike Bay” to replace the NUC 12 Extreme and NUC 12 Extreme Compute Element, and then physical photos of the NUC 13 Extreme Compute Element have also appeared on the Internet.

According to VideoCardz, Intel showed off the upcoming NUC 13 Extreme and NUC 13 Extreme Compute Element at TwitchCon, the latter being a PCIe-based motherboard that supports 13th Gen Core processors. As Intel’s most powerful NUC product, the NUC Extreme series is designed as a desktop replacement with the option to upgrade the processor, graphics, storage, and memory.
Compared with the NUC 12 Extreme, the next-generation NUC 13 Extreme will be larger, from 8L to 13.9L, which has caught up with some Micro-ATX chassis. The larger volume is to accommodate a larger-scale cooling system and use a more powerful graphics card. The NUC 13 Extreme can be adapted to a larger discrete graphics card. Although Intel’s own Arc A770 Limited Edition is only two-slot thick, if users choose to carry non-public products from other partners, there may be 2.5-slot products. In this official demonstration, in addition to Raptor Lake, NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 30 series graphics card is installed.

Intel has yet to announce the final specs of the NUC 13 Extreme, nor has it provided information such as pricing or a release date, and more details will be shared in the coming weeks.
