Intel Launches NUC8i7HVK and NUC8i7HNK NUC
Intel launched the latest Intel NUCs, based on the newly announced 8th Gen Intel Core i7 processor with Radeon RX Vega M graphics. The new Intel NUC (formerly code-named Hades Canyon) brings this powerful new processor and graphics solution into an incredibly tiny 1.20-liter system.
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.
To support all of this great processing and graphics horsepower, both NUCs offer the ultimate in connectivity, including dual Thunderbolt™ 3 ports and dual Gigabit Ethernet ports. The system can drive six independent monitors simultaneously, and one of the HDMI ports is on the unit’s front, making it easy to plug in a VR headset. These NUCs will be sold as bare-bones kits, targeted to DIYers who are looking for small, sleek and powerful mini PCs. The units will be available starting this spring.

Also for extra 200 bucks you can get overclockable version.
But the standard version is really cool

For the price, I don't think it's worth getting. Remember, you have to provide your own RAM, storage, and OS. If I want the CPU performance, I'd rather just get one of the previous gen NUCs. If I want the GPU performance, I'd rather get an Nvidia Jetson board (albeit, Jetsons would be limited in what games I could play).

I'd say the heatsink/fan was the weak part of the old ones. The graphics weren't amazing, but we knew it was just the Intel IGP, so it lived up to realistic expectations. Unlike the other NUCs, they were unstable and hot. Under load, or even idle, they were unstable. They were so hot they even melted their the lid with the cool skull on it. Too bad they didn't use a taller enclosure, made of aluminum, like the other NUCs. It seems they stayed with the low profile design, so I'd avoid these, based on the fact that the last "skull NUCs" were terrible.
