Intel® NUC
The Intel
®
NUC family of products delivers stunning visuals and edge-of-your-seat performance in an ultra-
small package. Powered by a visibly smart 3rd generation Intel
®
Core™ i3 processor in a 4.6” x 4.4” x 1.5”
case, the Intel NUC is big on performance yet surprisingly small in size. It’s an ideal engine for home theater
systems or a living room PC.
The Intel NUC features two SO-DIMM sockets for expandability with up to 16 GB of memory and two PCI
Express* Mini Card connectors for flexible support of wireless and Solid State Drive (SSD) configurations. It
offers High Definition Multimedia Interface* (HDMI*) with full HD 1080p display output and 7.1 digital audio
output (AV capable receiver required) along with three USB 2.0 ports for external expandability.
