ASUS has launched the new NUC compact PCs with AI

ASUS has announced a full range of AI-powered ASUS NUC products, including the NUC 14 Pro, NUC 14 Pro+, ROG NUC and NUC 14 Performance. These state-of-the-art small-form-factor and mini PC solutions feature advanced AI capabilities, meeting the needs of a wide range of users – from general consumers to high-end prosumers, gamers and business professionals.

Advanced artificial intelligence

Advanced AI tasks require significant graphics processing power, making a dedicated GPU crucial for accelerated image processing. The ROG NUC and NUC 14 Performance feature a processor up to an Intel Core Ultra 9 and a GPU up to NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070.

The ROG NUC, with its compact 2.5-liter form factor, excels at handling both demanding AI workloads and AAA games. The NUC 14 Performance, on the other hand, is perfect for business and edge applications, supporting up to five 4K displays simultaneously for high-visibility computing and versatile business use.

Artificial intelligence in everyday work

As AI advances from cloud platforms to built-in acceleration in essential PC applications, having a powerful, state-of-the-art mini PC carries a crucial advantage. The NUC 14 Pro and NUC 14 Pro+ feature an NPU of over 10 TOPS and are designed for everyday AI tasks. The NUC 14 Pro can be configured with up to an Intel Core Ultra 7 processor and uses CPU cores, integrated NPU and Arc GPU to enhance AI workflows, offering a 45% performance increase over its predecessor, the NUC 13 Pro.

The integrated Intel vPro Enterprise platform provides professional-grade AI performance, security, remote management and stability. The NUC 14 Pro has a sub-0.5 liter case with easy, tool-free access for easy updates and maintenance.

The NUC 14 Pro+ is an ultra-compact PC that delivers superior performance to run generative AI workloads. It features energy-efficient WiFi Sensing technology and a 5 x 4-inch anodized aluminum housing with easy access without the need for additional tools.

Next-level artificial intelligence

TOPS (trillions of operations per second) is a measure of the number of operations an AI device can perform every second under ideal conditions, and processors in AI NUCs can easily achieve triple-digit TOPS performance. Looking ahead, ASUS is set to launch the AI ​​’Lunar Canyon’ mini PC with Intel’s Lunar Lake platform housed in a sleek, sub-0.6 liter form factor. This upcoming model promises to push the limits of compact computing with advanced AI capabilities.
