Intel has stepped it up with its new NUC (Next Unit of Computing) in the new NUC 10, with the new Frost Canyon NUC packing some super great internals into a small PC that c an easily fit anywhere on your desk.
The highest-end configuration of Intel's new NUC can pack Intel's latest 10th-gen Core i7-10710U processor, which boosts at up to 4.7GHz, has 12MB of cache, and rocks Intel's latest UHD graphics. This means that lower-end games, emulated games (this is a big market for PCs like this as well), and even esports titles can run without an issue at 1080p.
If you want this speed in a new Intel NUC you'll be spending $1295, but for that you'll get yourself 64GB of RAM (!!!), and a 1TB Samsung 970 EVO NVMe M.2 SSD. There are lower-end offerings with just 4GB of RAM and a 120GB for $705.
You'll get yourself USB 3.1 Gen2 Type-A and USB 3.1 Type-C ports, as well as a 3.5mm audio jack, an Intel i219-V GbE port, and HDMI out. Inside, you'll also have a pre-installed Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX200 Wi-Fi card.
