Intel launched its next-generation miniature PC designed for enthusiasts that demand performance sufficient for gaming. The NUC 11 systems code-named Panther Canyon pack Intel’s quad-core 11th Generation Core ‘Tiger Lake’ processor further as Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 2060 graphics chip featuring the ‘Turing’ architecture.
Intel is not at all a stranger to NUCs with a discrete GPU, but so far, the corporate has not really offered a system that might actually feature an honest gaming-capable standalone graphics processor (of course if we take the modular NUC 9 Pro/Extreme out of the equation). The NUC 11 Enthusiast ‘Phantom Canyon’ is that the company’s first try and wed compact dimensions (221 × 142 × 42mm) with gaming-grade graphics and even upgradeability.
Take gaming to the next level with the ultra-sleek, super-small Intel® NUC 11 Enthusiast Mini PC and kit. Powered by an 11th Gen Intel® Core™ i7 processor with discrete NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 2060 discrete graphics, these 1.3 liter systems deliver commanding performance while taking up just a sliver of desk space.
