The Wall Street Canyon is Intels next Alder Lake-P NUC

Intel will soon produce a new NUC with the 28W Alder Lake-P series. The most visible difference is that the Wall Street Canyon has two USB-A 3.2 (10 Gbps) ports around the front, as opposed to one USB-A and one Thunderbolt 3/USB-C port on the existing model.

Chinese website Chiphell posted the first photographs of what appears to be Intel's upcoming small desktop debuted. Wall Street Canyon will use the classic NUC 4x4 form size. Nothing has changed on the outside. According to the source, the back ports are the same as on the NUC 11. The two USB ports on the front of the chassis have been upgraded to USB 3.2 Gen2 (10 Gbps), and there is an audio I/O connector. The tall version of this 4x4 NUC, with a 2.5-inch SATA drive inside, will be the first to go on sale. Intel is rumored to be developing a new tiny desktop with the working moniker Wall Street Canyon. Alder Lake P-series CPUs will be used in the PCs. It affects the Intel Core i7-1270P, Intel Core i7-1260P, Intel Core i5-1250P, Intel Core i5-1240P, and Intel Core i3-1220P, according to Chiphell. There is space within the housing for a 2.5" SSD or HDD as well as a PCIe 4.0 x4 M.2 NVMe SSD. The small computer also has two DDR4-3200 RAM slots. WiFi -6 and Bluetooth 5.2 are also believed to be included in the NUC.

The leaker employed an engineering sample (ES) chip, but this might signal performance gains as the NUC generation moves forward. The reviewer highlighted in CPU-Z testing that the Core i7-1260P powered NUC tested was 25% quicker in single-thread performance and twice as fast in multi-thread performance as the previous generation's best. The Intel NUC Studio 12 Pro with Core i7-1260P exchanged blows with the Intel Core i5-12400 desktop CPU in Cinebench, according to the source's data. Finally, the integrated Iris Xe graphics are the same as the previous version, so there are no surprises. When asked about the new NUC Studio 12 experience and performance, Someone's Vest stated that while the performance increase was expected, he was pleasantly pleased by the noise performance. 

There is no news on pricing yet, but we expect it to be comparable to, if not somewhat costlier than, the existing versions.
