Intel Next Unit of Computing NUC7i3BNB - Core i3-7100U [BLKNUC7I3BNB]

 Finally, it is a matter of firing its display with high-performance components. On the other hand, it is a completely different one to realize the whole thing on a tiny miniature system and still not to forgo power. The UCFF form factor (UltraCompactFormFactor) of the NUC standard with 10,16 x 10,16 cm is definitely to be described as outstanding.

Surprisingly, the dwarf's expandability does not suffer under the size. Not only does it offer two SO-DIMM slots for up to 32GB of DDR4 RAM with up to 2.133MHz clock speed (1.2V!), A total of four USB 3.0 Type A ports and a USB 2.0 port, (For two ports), but also a USB 3.1 type C port, which can also be used as a DisplayPort 1.2 interface. An HDMI port in version 2.0 (4K @ 60 Hz), a Gigabit LAN port, a SATA-6G port and two top-of-the-range M.2 slots, one for expansion with M.2 SSDs (PCIe 3.0 x4 & SATA-mode) and the other for the existing WiFi module with Intel Wireless-AC 8265 + BT 4.2 are also included. The Intel Core i3-7100U (Kaby Lake) has two cores, which clock at 2.4 GHz and has a great performance potential with low power consumption (only 15 watts TDP).

In the system-on-a-chip (SoC) with the Core i3-7100U processor, Intel's integrated HD-620 graphics are also used. This offers a lot of performance for 4K encoding and output and supports HDMI transmission up to the standard 2.0. The power requirement for the external power supply is only 65 watts (at 19 volts). The NUC-Board NUC7i3BNB is a compact, ultra-small, yet energy-saving system for any day-to-day tasks.
