"ASUS Discontinues NUC Extreme Series, Welcomes ROG NUCs"

Asus has taken over Intel's NUC designs but has confirmed that the NUC Extreme line will not be making a comeback, leaving fans without the option to pair the tiny hardware with full desktop-powered GPUs. The company's alternative for gamers is the ROG NUC, which features high-powered laptop components, but lacks the ability to accommodate full-sized desktop GPUs. The larger size of the NUC Extreme 12 and 13 models, comparable to Mini-ITX cases, may have contributed to the decision to discontinue the line. As a result, enthusiasts seeking maximum PC gaming power in a compact form may need to consider ITX builds as an alternative.

Intel's NUCs Facing Inventory Purge: Limited Availability Ahead

Intel has started discontinuing its Next Unit of Computing (NUC) lineup, including the NUC 12 Enthusiast kits, X15 and P14E reference laptops. These products will be officially discontinued on August 18, with remaining stock available until September 8. The discontinuations come after Intel abandoned its mini-PC division and handed it over to Asus. The NUC 12 Enthusiast kit, which showcased Intel's ARC A770M GPU, was discontinued less than a year after its release. Asus is expected to take over manufacturing, selling, and supporting 10th to 13th-gen NUC hardware. Intel's cost-saving measures and the decline in PC hardware demand have contributed to these discontinuations. However, Asus will continue the NUC concept with its new single board computer in a NUC form factor.

Intel Discontinues NUC Mini PCs, Shifts Focus to External Partners

Intel has decided to discontinue its Next Unit of Compute (NUC) business, which includes its compact and upgradable mini-PCs. The company will no longer directly invest in NUCs but will instead focus on enabling its ecosystem partners to continue innovation and growth in this area. While Intel's decision does not impact its other computing and networking businesses, it is disappointing for IT departments and enthusiasts who appreciated the small form factor and customization options of NUCs. The NUC's discontinuation means that the promised upgradability of the devices, including the ability to swap the main "Element" board for newer processors, is unlikely to materialize.
