The Cubi NUC AI 1UMG, a high-tech powerhouse-ready for performance through Intel's Core Ultra processing and AI acceleration right at your desk without taking up much space.
When it comes to the brain inside this machine, there will be two options- Intel Core Ultra 7 155H and Intel Core Ultra 5 125H. What makes these microchips so special Beyond the usual processing and integrated graphics, they also have a dedicated Neural Processing Unit (NPU). In other words, Cubi NUC is all set up for higher speed when it comes to AI-driven applications.
Memory and storage haven't been overlooked either:
- Do you need RAM Two DDR5 slots can be filled with a maximum of 64GB, making multitasking a smooth experience.
- For your files and operating system, there's room for two SSDs. One M.2 2280 SSD comes pre-installed, and you can easily pop in a second PCIe M.2 2242 drive for more space.
Though small with a size of 4.71-inches by 4.54-inches by 1.48-inches, the Cubi NUC AI 1UMG has its full share of connectivity within its tiny interior. The 120W adapter powers it and even comes with a Kensington lock slot for physical security.
At the front end there are two USB-A and one USB-C port for easy access at transferring speeds of 10Gbps. When it comes to meeting your display needs, you get to choose between two Thunderbolt 4 ports and two HDMI 2.0 ports. Those HDMI ports can deliver up to 15 watts of power as well.
A neat trick is the "Power Link" feature. If you have your Cubi NUC mounted to the back of a monitor (hello, VESA mount), it can automatically turn on when your monitor powers up. No more fumbling behind the screen
On the networking front, you get dual Ethernet ports on the back, both zipping along at up to 2.5Gbps. And for wireless, depending on the specific model you choose, you'll get either Wi-Fi 6E or the even newer Wi-Fi 7 standard.
As for the specifications on when you can own this mini AI marvel, and how much it will set you back, MSI is well keeping the wrapped mouth with that information for the moment. We will have to wait for designated announcements on the prices and availability of the Cubi NUC AI 1UMG.
