Two NUC games in two different ways
The new Intel Nuc games will arrive, according to a source, in the second half of this year and will be fitted with 10 nm + Intel Tiger Lake processors and dedicated Intel Xe graphics cards, with usage of up to 45 watts (less than what the current generation eats (like the PS4 or Xbox One X), it all saves a little bit of form, though as we'll see below we will have a variety of variations They are very different in construction.

This will be a very powerful variant, and will be powered by processors Intel Tiger Lake-U 28W of TDP. We will get various versions with Intel Core i7 and Intel Core i5 processors, but in all cases they will have Intel Xe GPUs are dedicated The next generation, or features of these GPUs are currently unknown. We can prepare for these game NUCs up to 64 GB of DDR4 RAM-3200 in SO-DIMM format, and you'll have the last two M.2 2280 NVMe bases.
As you can see, even though the design is small by form factor, it differs from the standard Nucs of a company. In this case, in addition, you will have that slug logo that can be lightened in blue if the user wants. In any case, the total usage of this machine will be 45 watts (as we said, under comfort). Highlighting the installation of HDMI 2.0b video output, mini DisplayPort, Thunderbolt 3, LAN 2,5 Gbps, Intel Wireless-AX 201, IEEE 802.11ax and Bluetooth 5.0.

This will be the second variant, which already exists with the standard Intel Nuc format We know a lot. However, we cannot be fooled by its format because it will also feature 28W Intel Tiger Lake-U applications from TDP, with variants of Core i5 and Core i7, up to 64 GB of 3200 MHz DDR4 RAM in -SO-DIMM and two bases M.2 NVMe. The main difference for this group in relation to the original is that it will be offered only with the graphics option included, though they will also be Intel Xe.
In terms of connectivity we will get almost the same from the standard Intel NUC, with most USB 3.1 Type-A and USB-C, Gigabit LAN, HDMI, Thunderbolt and mini DisplayPort. Utilization of these machines will be lower than in the past, although they did not provide statistics.
Intel did not reveal pricing or release date, but it will be released in the second half of this year. It will be interesting to see the performance of these gaming companies, especially compared to the current generation video consoles.
