Intel’s first tiny desktop with an Apollo Lake processor is on the way. This summer we saw leaked documents indicating that the chip maker was working on a new Intel NUC mini computer with an Apollo Lake processor.
Now Intel has published official product specifications for the NUC NUC6CAYB board with a 10 watt Intel Celeron J3455 quad-core processor.
As expected, Intel will offer a barebones NUC6CAYH model with no memory, storage, or operating system, and a NUC6CAYS version that comes with 2GB of RAM, 32GB of eMMC storage, and Windows 10 software.
The NUC board measures 4″ x 4″ square, but that’s just for the board itself. The computer case will be a bit bigger.
The system supports up to 8GB of DDR3L-1600 or 1866 memory and has USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 ports, a 2.5″ drive bay for a hard drive or SSD, an SDXC card reader, HDMI 2.0 and VGA ports, and a mini TOSLINK jack for 5.1 channel or 7.1 channel audio
Intel says the computer can handle 4K/60fps content when connected to a display via HDMI or 1920 x 1200 pixel 60 Hz output over VGA.
There’s also a 3.5mm headset jack and a digital mic array header for use with Cortana and other voice software.
Intel’s new NUC features Gigabit Ethernet and features an M.2 2230 card with 802.11ac WiFi and Bluetooth 4.2.
