The website ChipHell (another of those sites that are characterized by its continuous leaks) has leaked through its forums an image of what appears to be the first NUC fruit of the new collaboration between Intel and AMD that has an announcement this week.
The first image of the NUC Intel “Hades Canyon” is filtered with the first Intel + AMD chip
That is the Intel NUC “Hades Canyon,” as we can see in the image is a small base plate. That has at its center the new chip fruit of collaboration, wherein the same package we see an Intel Core processor, an AMD GPU (possibly Vega) and a memory die HBM2.
Difference between CPU and GPU Major Points
The combination can be very exotic, but it is easy to imagine that this new NUC provides a powerful computer regarding CPU and GPU capable of delivering users a quiet gaming PC powerful enough to move many of the games of the game. Current market to reasonable levels or a platform for companies to develop many commercial applications based on graphics without the need of systems with dedicated GPUs.
Hades Canyon Specifications
The new NUC “Hades Canyon” seems to have TDP of 65W in its minimum version. Also, its maximum version with the “VR” tag is with a TDP of 100W. Of course, the board already intuits somehow the consumption of this new NUC. That is because we see a design of at least 12 phases of power.
The other features of the board go through an M.2 port that accepts NVMe PCIe x4 devices, two SO-DIMM DDR4 slots, two dual Gigabit networks with an integrated 802.11ac WiFi network and a large number of USB 3.0 ports.
MediaTek Introduces the MT6739 Processor-Oriented Chip
On the other hand, the small NUC has two outputs HDMI 2.0. And two outputs Mini Display Port 1.3 to offer video up to four different monitors, an authentic beast. That will be most likely to come during the CES.
