INTEL® NUC:
REady To Go
oUT-of-ThE-Box
Get ready for spectacularly responsive performance from Intel® NUC Mini PCs with
8th gen Intel® Core™ processors and Windows® 10. Edit photos, stream media, or set
up a second PC, whatever the task, whatever the use, the Intel® NUC8i7BEKQA and
NUC8i5BEKPA Mini PCs deliver powerful features—in a size that ts easily into any
lifestyle and any room in the house.
The first Intel NUC Mini PCs with quad-core 8th generation
Intel® Core™ processors
The NUC8i7BEKQA and NUC8i5BEKPA Mini PCs with true quad-core 8th gen Intel Core
processors deliver a big jump in performance compared to previous generations.
Whether creating content, looking at photos with 4K UHD graphics, or playing games,
these tiny, complete Mini PCs have great visual immersion with Iris® Plus Graphics 655
and the unprecedented performance of Intel Core processors. And both Mini PCs come
with dual-channel DDR4-RAM preinstalled: 16 GB on the NUC8i7BEKQA and 8 GB on
the NUC8i5BEKPA.
Solid State Drives equal solid reliability
The NUC8i7BEKQA has an 8th gen Intel® Core™ i7 processor and Iris Plus graphics, and
512 GB Intel® SSD drive to punch out your next big gaming win. The NUC8i5BEKPA
comes with an 8th gen Intel® Core™ i5 processor and Iris Plus graphics, and a 256 GB
Intel SSD drive, perfect for serving les screamingly fast. And because the drives have
no moving parts the failure rate is lower and there is less chance of data loss.
With Thunderbolt™ 3 plus USB 3.1 for fast data transfer
The Intel NUC Mini PC chassis are connectivity powerhouses. Both come with
Thunderbolt™ 3 which supports up to 40 Gbps of data transfer, and four USB 3.1
ports to bolster productivity for moving big media les around and providing room
for peripherals. There’s an HDMI* 2.0a port for 4K displays, and DisplayPort* 1.2 via
USB-C. With the ability to have triple displays all in 4K Ultra HD, photos, videos, and
streaming media are picture perfect.
Think you know what small can do? Think again.
In a footprint that’s almost zero— especially when compared with a tower—these Mini
PCs have the performance and features of a desktop PC in a device that ts in the palm
of your hand. The small size means they 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 located.
The Intel® NUC: who says small isn’t powerful?
