Minix Shows New NUC355 Mini PC with Intel Core 3 N355 Chip
Minix now has a new, cheap mini PC, the NUC355. It runs with the Intel Core 3 N355, a strong 8-core chip from the Twin Lake set, and starts at a price of $399.
Main Specs and How It Works
The big thing in the NUC355 is the Intel Core 3 N355 chip. Minix says its 8-core setup gives it a big edge in speed over other PCs with the Intel N150. The N355 also has a better built-in GPU (UHD Graphics with 32 EUs as against 24 EUs), which makes the NUC355 fit better for watching stuff and easy games.
