Intel's next-gen "Raptor Canyon" NUC has been teased with its new "Shrike Bay" Compute Element, which will debut after Intel has released its new 13th Gen Core "Raptor Lake" CPUs.

The new Intel "Raptor Canyon" NUC leak is coming from some leaked documents and roadmap on the Intel NUC subreddit, shared by @Harukaze5719 on Twitter. Intel's new 13th Gen Core "Raptor Lake" CPUs will arrive later this year, ushering in the new "Raptor Canyon" NUC that will support the K-series Core i9, Core i7, and Core i5 processors.

Intel's new NUC 13 Extreme "Raptor Canyon" will offer the Intel Core i9-13900K, Core i7-13700K, or Core i5-13700K processors, all unlocked and ready for overclocking. Better yet, the Intel NUC 13 Extreme "Raptor Canyon" will accept full-sized PCIe 5.0-capable GPUs inside of its 13.9L chassis.

COLORFUL's new G-One Plus AIO gaming PC has received an awesome teardown treatment, after being teased and announced last month... the new AIO gaming PC is now for sale. Check out the teardown:

The new teardown of the COLORFUL G-One Plus AIO gaming PC was done by Chinese tech media "EJ Hardware", with the team pulling the AIO system apart and giving us a good look at the innards of the PC. The COLORFUL G-One Plus AIO gaming PC packs a custom motherboard for the Intel Alder Lake-H mobile CPU + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Laptop GPU.

There are also regular SO-DIMM slots for the DDR5 memory, as well as a secondary M.2 SSD slot -- so you can upgrade the DDR5 RAM, and add in a secondary M.2 SSD slot if you want. COLORFUL offers users multiple CPU configurations: Core i5-12500H (12-core), Core i7-12700H (14-core) or Core i9-12900H (16-core) but EJ Hardware tested out the COLORFUL G-One Plus AIO gaming PC powered by the lower-end Core i5-12500H processor.

Intel announced its new NUC X15 "Alder County" reference laptops back in January 2022, earlier this year at CES (the Consumer Electronics Show) and now, now we have official specs on the NUC 15 "Alder County" systems.

We knew a little about what would be ticking along inside of Intel's new NUC X15 "Alder County" reference laptops at CES 2022, but now those details are a bit more clear: the new Intel NUC X15 (C71H and C71G) systems will feature an Intel COre i7-12700H processor, joined by Intel's new Arc ACM-G10 GPU.

The "G" variant there with the Intel NUC X15 "C71G" will use the Intel Arc A550M mobile GPU, while the "H" variant in the Intel NUC X15 "C71H" uses an Intel Arc A730M mobile GPU. Inside, you've got dual M.2 NVMe slots for either a good, great, or huge amount of super-fast SSD storage, two wireless antennas, with Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX 201 and a Bluetooth 5.2 module (which is removable).

ZOTAC announced its new ZBOX Magnus EN series Mini PCs that will include Intel's Tiger Lake-H processors, and NVIDIA's latest GeForce RTX 30 series GPUs.

The new ZOTAC ZBOX Magnus EN series Mini PCs have just started going up for pre-order in Japan, with the base model of the ZBOX Magnus EN series Mini PCs kicking off at $1500 or so. The actual launch takes place on July 12, so we're not too far away.

ZOTAC's new flagship ZBOX Magnus EN series Mini PC model is the "ZBOX E series MAGNUS EN173080C" which features the Intel Core i7-11800H processor (8 cores, 16 threads @ 2.3GHz base and up to 4.6GHz boost CPU clocks). GPU wise we've got NVIDIA's latest GeForce RTX 3080 Laptop GPU. You've got 16GB of DDR4 SO-DIMM memory (upgradeable to 64GB) and a 512GB M.2 NVMe SSD for storage, with another slot ready for another M.2 NVMe SSD or 2.5-inch SSD or HDD for your storage needs.

Apple will reportedly be launching a new lineup of iMac products in the near future, with rumors swirling on Apple using its next-gen M3 chip inside of a "future iMac" beginning in June 2022, now we have the very latest on what to expect from the new iMac.

The latest on the next-gen Apple iMac is that not only will it feature a "variation of the M3 chip" but the company is reportedly working on a "larger-screened iMac", a new iMac that is aimed at the "professional market" explains Mark Gurman in his latest "Power On" newsletter.

Gurman explains: "I also still believe that Apple is working on a larger-screened iMac aimed at the professional market. I'd imagine this will use a variation of the M3 chip, likely an M3 Pro and M3 Max. That would match the chips inside of the MacBook Pro. I don't think the combination of a Mac Studio or Mac mini plus an Apple Studio Display cuts it for many pro users who want more screen real estate".

AMD is unleashing its super-high-end Ryzen Threadripper PRO 5000 WX series CPUs, with system builders getting their mitts on the chips first, with the DIY market later in the year. Falcon Northwest is taking off, with next-gen Talon and RAK 4U systems.

Falcon Northwest's new systems will offer 3 new AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 5000 WX series CPUs: the Ryzen Threadripper PRO 5995WX with 64 cores and 128 threads, the Ryzen Threadripper PRO 5975WX with 32 cores and 64 threads, and the Ryzen Threadripper PRO 5965WX with 24 cores and 48 threads of CPU power.

Each of the new AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 5000 WX series CPUs offer 8-channel DDR4 memory support, and 128 lanes of PCIe 4.0 technology. Falcon Northwest will be outfitting its new systems with the high-end ASUS PRO WX WRX80E SAGE WE Wi-Fi motherboard, a motherboard worthy of Godzilla buying it.

COLORFUL has unveiled its latest G-ONE PLUS all-in-one gaming PC, which packs everything into its height-adjustable stand, with the I/O panel at the back... and it looks fantastic.

The new COLORFUL G-ONE PLUS AIO gaming PC packs an Intel 12th Gen Core "Alder Lake" CPU, a huge 31.5-inch IPS display with a native 2560 x 1440 (1440p) resolution at a gamer-fast 165Hz refresh rate. COLORFUL also includes built-in stereo speakers, fully customizable RGB lighting, a concealable Lift Camera, and even a built-in Qi wireless charging dock on its stand.

Inside, there's up to an Intel Core i9-12900H processor, up to 16GB DDR4-3200 (also upgradeable to 64GB) with up to 1TB of "fast" NVMe SSD storage (also upgradeable, another M.2 PCIe 3.0 x4 NVMe slot). On the GPU side, COLORFUL is using an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Laptop GPU. The large 31.5-inch IPS panel with a native 1440p @ 165Hz is a fantastic thing to see, as AIO systems normally lock things down to 60Hz.

GIGABYTE has just announced its new, and updated AORUS Model S 12th Gaming Mini PC, with some impressive components crammed into a sleek-looking, console-sized gaming PC. Check it out:

NZXT changed things up with their H1 Mini-ITX case, looking like Microsoft's current-gen Xbox Series X console, and now AORUS is here with their refreshed Model S 12th Gaming Mini PC. GIGABYTE lets you configure the new Model S gaming PC with up to an Intel 12th Gen Core "Alder Lake" CPU, the highest-end the Model S takes is the Core i7-12700K processor.

The new AORUS Model S has up to the Intel Core i7-12700K processor in a desktop LGA 1700 socket, with a flagship Z690 motherboard that's cooled with GIGABYTE's in-house custom cooling system. Joining the CPU is up to 32GB of DDR5-4800 memory, a 2TB NVMe M.2 PCIe 4.0 SSD, and a 750W 80 PLUS Gold PSU.

Minisforum hs shown off its new Neptune HX90G system, which fits a damn good PC into a teeny, tiny 2.8L chassis. Check it out:

The new Minisforum Neptune HX90G can be configured with three different CPUs: an AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX, AMD Ryzen 9 6800HX, or even an Intel 12th Gen Core "Alder Lake" CPU. Aside from the CPU, on the GPU side of things we have a discrete AMD Radeon RX 6650M GPU that is soldered onto the PCB and can't be replaced or upgraded.

Minisorum is using a huge heat sink that is installed to cover the APU + GPU, with 7 heat pipes in total -- 3 dedicated to the GPU -- with two fans to exhaust the heat. Minisforum says that the cooler can dissipate the heat without dropping the performance of the system while the CPU and GPU are operating at 100W.

XMG STUDIO has just unveiled its new desktop PC that was crafted from the ground up for video and audio production -- designed and thoroughly tested, in XMG's words -- for "flawless performance with common software and hardware peripherals".

The new system will pack up to Intel's high-end Core i9-12900K processor, and NVIDIA's also high-end GeForce RTX 3090. There are faster CPUs and GPUs on the market from both companies, with the new Core i9-12900KS and GeForce RTX 3090 Ti, but you've still got a helluva lot of silicon power here.

XMG STUDIO is exclusively using the Intel 12th Gen Core "Alder Lake" CPUs which begin at the mid-range Core i5-12600K, through to the high-end Core i9-12900K. Inside, we're looking at the ASUS PRIME Z690-P D4 motherboard, which means you're using DDR4 RAM and not DDR5 RAM.
