Like all Intel ranges, NUCs will soon turn to processors
Alder Lake.
Imagined by Intel almost ten years ago, the Next Unit of Computing – better known by the acronym NUC – are one of the options for having a perfectly functional PC on hand while being very compact.
Socket LGA1700 and DDR4
Since the first versions presented in 2012 and launched in early 2013, Intel has always favored motherboards with a welded processor for its NUCs. This simplified the design and implementation of an adequate cooling system, but limited the scalability of the beast as much.
Intel therefore seems on the verge of changing its mind, at least on the most efficient machines in the new NUC range. A photo of the innards of the NUC 12 Extreme Edition – the most powerful of the future range – thus illustrates the presence of an LGA1700 socket.
As can be seen in the photo, the LGA1700 socket is accompanied by two SO-DIMM slots. To believe VideoCardz, they accept DDR4 and it would also be a NVMe PCIe Gen 4.
