Everything you need to know about the latest ASUS NUC Mini PCs - NUC 14 Pro and ROG NUC

It's not hard to see the allure of small-form-factor PCs or mini-PCs. They provide all the functionality of a modern PC, albeit in a tiny, portable form factor suitable for just about any environment. There's a common misconception that a Mini PC small enough to fit in your hand cannot offer the same performance or experience as a full-sized desktop PC or laptop. That's certainly not true of ASUS NUCs, which deliver "up to a 70%" improvement in performance compared to the already impressive previous generation.

With more than enough power to handle everything from light workloads to creator apps, the latest blockbuster PC games, and even AI workloads, ASUS NUCs are built for now and for the future. The range is diverse, too, with models for businesses, content creators, and PC gaming enthusiasts. The ASUS NUC 14 Pro supports up to an Intel Core Ultra 7 CPU, an AI-ready processor with an integrated neural processing unit (NPU), and Arc Graphics. The ASUS NUC 14 Pro+ includes the flagship Intel Core Ultra 9 processor for those who want the best.

The powerful ROG NUC blends futuristic aesthetics with cutting-edge hardware for PC gamers and creators, pairing a powerful Intel Core Ultra processor with up to an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop GPU. It doesn't stop there; the ASUS NUC 13 Rugged offers a fanless design and resilience against dust, shocks, vibrations, and more - an ASUS NUC built to thrive in challenging work environments.

The Intel Core Ultra series represents the largest client SoC architectural shift in 40 years thanks to its disaggregated design. This means that Cure Ultra processors, as featured in the ASUS NUC line-up, include separate tiles that handle different things more efficiently.

The Compute Tile represents what we commonly call the CPU, with a separate SoC Tile including Intel's first built-in NPU AI Engine, Wi-Fi 6E support, 8K HDR, and modern AV1 video encoding and decoding support. There's also an IO Tile to support the latest Thunderbolt and PCIe technologies and a dedicated Graphics Tile that includes Arc Graphics, which is powerful enough to support hardware-accelerated ray tracing.

From the Intel Core Ultra 7 CPU in the ASUS NUC 14 Pro to the Intel Core Ultra 9 in the ASUS NUC 14 Pro+ and ROG NUC, Intel's groundbreaking Core Ultra processors deliver massive generation-on-generation performance gains.

With an integrated CPU, GPU, and NPU (Neural Process Unit), the latest ASUS NUC Mini PCs are ready to deliver business-class AI performance. Thanks to Intel AI Boost and the Intel vPro Enterprise platform, you've got targeted optimizations for hundreds of AI apps and tools, ranging from AI-powered security and threat detection to creative, analytical, and collaborative tools.
