  • First Images of Broadwell-based Intel NUC Kits Emerge

    Official announcement likely at CES 2015

    The Consumer Electronics Show (CES) is just around the corner and, if some recent reports are to be believed, so is the announcement of a new generation of Intel’s Next Unit of Computing (NUC) range of pint-sized PC kits and boards. A bunch of images said to show next-generation NUC units quietly appeared on Intel’s own website late last month, where they sat unnoticed until the folks over at ComputerBase.de stumbled on them a few days back.

    These new NUC systems are said to be built around the chipmaker’s 14nm Broadwell chips. According to reporting by ComputerBase.de and LegitReviews, the two models seen occupying the flanks in the above pic are both “Rock Canyon” (codename) systems aimed at the consumer market, whereas the one in the middle is a “Maple Canyon” (codename) thin client meant for business users. Further, a second image is said to show a Rock Canyon board.


    The two Rock Canyon models seen in the first picture are said to measure 115mm x 111mm, with the one on the left reportedly having a height of 29.8mm and the taller one on the left about 48.55mm. Based on the images, we are looking at mini PCs with enough room for four USB 3.0 ports (including one with charging support), M.2 SSD slot, SATA III 6Gbps slot, mini HDMI, mini DisplayPort, Ethernet (Maple Canyon only), 802.11ac WiFi support (Rock Canyon) and dual-channel memory slots.
