Intel launches Hades Canyon NUC with built in RX Vega
Intel NUCs are tiny but powerful mini-PCs. Their popularity has rapidly increased since Intel introduced them in 2012. People use the Intel NUC, an acronym for Next Unit of Computing.
Intel launched its most powerful Intel NUC to date, based on the newly announced 8th Gen Intel Core i7 processor with Radeon RX Vega M graphics with its 1280 shader processors. The new Intel NUC (formerly code-named Hades Canyon) brings this powerful new processor and graphics solution into a tiny 1.20-liter system.
The NUC 8i 7 HVK" (939 US dollars) has a with Core i7 8809 G (4 cores / 8 threads / max 4.20 GHz) or alternatively the Core i7 - 8705 G (4 cores / 8 threads / max 4.10 GHz) model NUC 8 i 7 HNK (769 USD). The units have 6 graphics outputs including miniDisplayPort ×2, HDMI ×2, Thunderbolt 3 ×2. Built-in Intel Wireless-AC 8265 module supports 802.11ac wireless LAN and Bluetooth 4.2.
The new NUC will come in two versions: NUC8i7HVK and NUC8i7HNK.
- The NUC8i7HVK is based on the unlocked version of the new 8th Gen Intel Core processor with the Radeon RX Vega M GH graphics, giving overclockers1 the ability to take the system to higher levels.
- The NUC8i7HNK uses the 8th Gen Intel Core processor with the Radeon RX Vega M GL graphics.

It is good looking, but APU with similar CPU performance (and proportionally weaker GPU) can be had for 1/2 of price.
But it is still great looking and cool system. This is exactly design I wanted in notebooks. One small PCB with everything needed, a lot of space for battery. No wasted space with additional mGPU.
I am sure a lot of people will like it.

A bit odd that the graphics in this is better than the graphics offerings from AMD's own lineup, at least currently (I'm sure if a 2500G comes out, it'll be as good or better). But, as good as the specs are, this is a bit expensive. For that price, I'd rather get a laptop with similar specs. At least then speakers, a display, keyboard, trackpad, and battery would be included.

TDP 100W it will be noisy.. I would like to see good GPUs in 35W or 65W TPD package.
