  • Intel NUC 12 Extreme specs leak: will be shipped with Core i9-12900/i7-12700

    Intel has briefly introduced the NUC 12 Extreme, code-named Dragon Canyon, at the CES 2022 exhibition, and the new generation of products will be available in the first quarter of 2022. Intel wants the NUC 12 Extreme to stand out from the small desktop PC competition, with a compact chassis that lets users swap out CPUs, memory, SSDs, and a full-sized discrete graphics card.
    Different from the BGA method used by previous products, the NUC 12 Extreme uses the standard LGA 1700 socket, and users can replace the Alder Lake processor by themselves, and may even use the Raptor Lake processor in the future. As reported by VideoCardz, a spec sheet for the NUC 12 Extreme has now been obtained.

    The data shows that the overall size of the NUC 12 Extreme is 357 x 120 x 189 mm, with two SO-DIMM slots, supporting 64GB of DDR4-3200 memory, up to three M.2 SSDs (PCIe 4.0 x4 lanes) can be configured with a customizable LED front panel and cooling system, support Wi-Fi 6E/Bluetooth 5.2 (Intel AX211), HDMI 2.0 and two Thunderbolt 4 ports (integrated display supports three 4K outputs), 10Gbe LAN, six USB 3.2 Gen2 ports, etc. Since the NUC 12 Extreme does not choose DDR5 memory but supports DDR4 memory, it is quite user-friendly.

    It is understood that the NUC 12 Extreme will be sold with a Core i9-12900 (NUC12DCMi9) or Core i7-12700 (NUC12DCMi7) processor, and there will be no empty box version. Core i9-12900 is a 16-core 24-thread specification with a turbo frequency of 5.1 GHz, while Core i7-12700 is a 12-core 20-thread specification with a turbo frequency of 4.9 GHz. The pricing of the NUC 12 Extreme has been leaked by dealers before. The price of the NUC12DCMi9 is $1714/€1401, and the price of the NUC12DCMi7 is $1514/€1181.

  • Intel NUC 12 Extreme pricing leaks: Core i9-12900 version price at $1500

    Intel has briefly introduced the NUC 12 Extreme, codenamed Dragon Canyon, at CES 2022. Different from the BGA method used in previous products, it uses the standard LGA 1700 socket, and users can replace the Alder Lake processor by themselves, and may even use the Raptor Lake processor in the future.

    Compared with the NUC 11 Extreme, which was named Beast Canyon last year, it uses the Tiger Lake-H processor (the 11th generation Core B series), the changes in the processor of the NUC 12 Extreme should bring considerable performance improvements, and give consumers more opportunities for different choices. Recently, Twitter user @momomo_us discovered that SimplyNUC accidentally listed the configuration and pricing information of the NUC 12 Extreme.

    The page shows that the price of the NUC 12 Extreme (NUC12DCMi9) equipped with the Core i9-12900 processor is $1714/€1401, the price of the version with the Core i7-12700 processor (NUC12DCMi7) is $1514 USD/€1181. In addition to the processor, graphics cards, memory, and SSD will not be provided, but it is not ruled out that there will be fully configured versions. Compared to the current price of the NUC 11 Extreme on SimplyNUC, the new model is about $300/€220 more expensive.

    The NUC 12 Extreme has two SO-DIMM slots, supports 64GB of DDR4-3200 memory, and can be configured with up to three M.2 SSDs (PCIe 4.0 x4 lanes), equipped with a customizable LED front panel and cooling system, it supports Wi-Fi 6E, Thunderbolt 4, 10Gbe LAN, USB 3.2 Gen2, etc. It is equipped with a DisplayPort 1.4 interface and an HDMI 1.4 interface.

    Previously, Intel said that the NUC 12 Extreme would be available in the first quarter of 2022, and being on the SimplyNUC page seems to indicate that the actual release is not far away.

  • Intel confirms NUC 12 Extreme to switch to LGA 1700 socket

    It has already been reported that Intel has switched to the standard LGA 1700 socket on the NUC 12 Extreme, codenamed Dragon Canyon. This is different from the previous BGA method, allowing users to replace Alder Lake processors by themselves, and may even use Raptor Lake processors in the future. Intel’s approach surprised many people.
    In a presentation clip from CES 2022, Intel marketing expert Cassandra Bodzak briefly introduced the product codenamed Dragon Canyon. Although the duration is very short, in just a few seconds of footage, in the background board introduced by Cassandra Bodzak, you can see various accessories after the dismantling of the NUC 12 Extreme, among which you can see the standard LGA 1700 socket. This also ruled out the statement that some people suspected that it was just a “test model” in the previous exposure. In addition, you can also see that the NUC 12 Extreme has two DDR4 SO-DIMM slots, can be configured with up to three M.2 SSDs, is equipped with a customizable LED front panel, supports Wi-Fi 6E, Thunderbolt 4, 10Gbe LAN, USB 3.2 Gen2, HDMI, etc.

    The NUC 11 Extreme, named Beast Canyon last year, uses the Tiger Lake-H processor, which is the 11th generation Core B series. In contrast, the changes in the processor of the NUC 12 Extreme should bring a considerable performance improvement, and give consumers more opportunities for different choices. It is unclear which processors the NUC 12 Extreme will support, with its relatively small size, perhaps the 12th-generation Core series processors with TDP of 65W and 35W.

    Intel said that the NUC 12 Extreme will be available within this quarter, and it is still being tested and evaluated, which will take about three months.
