Taipei, Taiwan. ASROCK Industrial released its NUC 1300/D5 BOX, NUC 1300/D4 BOX, and NUCS 1300/D4 BOX Series powered by 13th Gen Intel Core Processors (Raptor Lake-P). The “tiny but mighty” series includes a hybrid framework with support up to 12 cores (4P+8E) with Intel Iris Xe Graphics.

NUCS 1300/D4 BOX Series

The NUCS 1300/D4 BOX Series runs 13th Gen Intel Core i7/i5 Processors (Raptor Lake-P) specifically for slim designs. The NUCS/D4 Box family includes two SO-DIMM DDR4-3200 MHz up to 64GB, up to 4K quad-display by two HDMI 2.0b, two DP1.4a (from Type C), one 2.5G LAN, and WiFi 6E for efficient connectivity. A 12-19V DC-in jack design with TPM 2.0 is integrated into the 110.0 x 117.5 x 38mm fanned form factor.

I/Os include:

  • One USB4
  • Five USB 3.2 Gen2 (Type C and A)
  • One M.2 Key M (2242/2280) for storage

The NUCS 1300/D4 BOX Series was conceived for the following retail solutions in mind, digital signage, kiosk, POS, and enhanced gaming and office boost on PCs.
