ASUS NUC 13 Pro Mini PC - Arena Canyon

Erst vor wenigen Tagen hat Intel verkündet, dass die Entwicklung weiterer NUC eingestellt werde. Somit haben wir mit dem NUC 13 Pro Kit (Arena Canyon) das vermutlich letzte Modell im Test. Mit kleinen Abmessungen und ausgestattet mit einem Core i7-1360P zielt Intel mit diesem Komplettsystem auf den Office-Einsatz ab. Was der NUC zu leisten im Stande ist, vor allem im Vergleich zum Beelink GTR7 7840HS (Test) mit Ryzen 7 7840HS, werden wir uns auf den folgenden Seiten genauer anschauen.

The Intel NUC 13 delivers a fairly unique PC solution, deviating from standard pre-fabricated systems. The design incorporates a somewhat modular concept without mandating consumers to start entirely from the beginning. The system showcases a remodelled compact casing compatible with high-tier hardware due to Intel's optimized thermal structure. Intel's Raptor Lake processors succeed the Alder Lake series, expanding on the established hybrid computing model. Although the desktop processors only feature minor microarchitectural upgrades, the -P series gains from the refinement of the Intel 7 manufacturing process. Intel's revised voltage-frequency curves have enabled an increase in turbo clocks for both its performance and efficiency cores, improving overall system operation. The Raptor Lake-P also unveils I/O enhancements, such as extra Thunderbolt 4 ports and USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 support, albeit their availability depends on board component selections. Our submitted model has the 13th Gen Intel Core i7-1360P, the NUC features an Intel 2.5GbE, Intel Killer Wi-Fi 6E, two Thunderbolt 4 ports, and 1x USB 3.2 Gen2 rear ports (Type A). Our kit is fitted with RAM (16GB), an SSD (500GB), and is based on the Iris Xe integrated graphics unit (GPU). We're testing the unit as supplied by Geekom, who is an official distributor for this kit
