INTEL® NUC: Go Small. Get Big.
INTEL® NUC: Go SmaLL. GET BIG.
Get ready for spectacularly responsive performance from the Intel® NUC Mini PC kits
with 8th generation Intel® Core™ i3 processors. The latest generation of Intel NUC kits
let you or your customers build the exact system they want. From choosing chassis size
to memory options to storage congurations, the benet of building an Intel NUC kit is
the ability to completely customize the kit for your specic usage. Whether working
on presentations, word processing, or streaming media, the Intel® NUC8i3BEK and
NUC8i3BEH Mini PC kits deliver the features people want—in a size that ts easily
into any lifestyle and any room in the house.
The first Intel NUC Mini PC kits with a dual-core 8th generation
Intel® Core™ i3 processor
The Intel NUC8i3BEK Mini PC kit with a true dual-core 8th generation Intel Core i3
processor delivers a big jump in performance compared to the previous generation Intel®
NUC7i3BNH/BNK kits. Whether it’s built for a new home PC or a system with 4K UHD
graphics for picture perfect entertainment, the Intel NUC8i3BEK Mini PC kit gives great
visual immersion with Iris® Plus Graphics 655 and the unprecedented performance of
Intel® Core™ processors.
The slightly taller Intel NUC8i3BEH has the same processor and graphics, and also
has room for a 2.5" HDD and is Intel® Optane™ memor y ready. By coupling a 2.5" HDD
and Intel Optane memory, performance improves dramatically with up to 1.4x
media loading.

Work Like a Boss with Thunderbolt™ 3, USB 3.1, and 4K Ultra HD
The Intel NUC Mini PC kits have chassis that are connectivity powerhouses. Both come
with Thunderbolt™ 3 which supports up to 40 GBps of data transfer, four USB 3.1 ports,
two additional USB ports via 1x4 internal headers. There’s also room for an M.2 SSD. The
Intel NUC Mini PC kits support triple displays all in 4K Ultra HD—with an HDMI* 2.0a port
and DisplayPort* 1.2 via USB-C—so images or work can show across three screens
without losing delity.
Think you know what small can do? Think again.
In a footprint that’s almost zero—especially when compared with a tower—the Intel NUC
Mini PC kits can be custom built to have the performance and features of a desktop PC in
a device that ts in the palm of your hand. The small size means the Intel NUC can be
positioned almost anywhere—from behind a display to tucked discretely in an entertainment center. And with improved cooling, fan noise is minimal—which means a quieter
experience no matter where the Intel NUC is positioned.
The Intel® NUC: who says small isn’t powerful?
