• Intel® UHD Graphics for 11
th
Gen Intel® Processors
• Integrated memory controller
2.3 Platform Controller Hub (PCH)
The Intel NUC 11 Extreme Kits feature a soldered-down Mobile Intel® WM590 Platform Controller
Hub with Direct Media Interface (DMI) interconnect providing interfaces to the processor and the
USB, SATA, LAN, PCI Express interfaces. The WM590 is a centralized controller for the kit’s I/O
paths.
2.3.1 Direct Media Interface (DMI)
Direct Media Interface (DMI) is the chip-to-chip connection between the processor and PCH. This
high-speed interface integrates advanced priority-based servicing allowing for concurrent traffic
and true isochronous transfer capabilities.
2.4 System Memory
The Intel NUC 11 Extreme Kit has two 260-pin SO-DIMM sockets and supports the following
memory features:
• 1.2 V DDR4 SDRAM SO-DIMMs with gold plated contacts
• Two independent memory channels with interleaved mode support
• Unbuffered, single-sided or double-sided SO-DIMMs
• 64 GB maximum total system memory (with 16 Gb memory technology)
• Minimum recommended total system memory: 4096 MB
• Non-ECC SO-DIMMs
• Serial Presence Detect
• DDR4 2133/2400/2666/2933/3200 MHz SDRAM SO-DIMMs
• Intel® XMP support
Supports 4 Gb, 8 Gb, and 16 Gb memory technology (SDRAM Density)
NOTE
To be fully compliant with all applicable DDR SDRAM memory specifications, the board should be
populated with SO-DIMMs that support the Serial Presence Detect (SPD) data structure. This
allows the BIOS to read the SPD data and program the chipset to accurately configure memory
