A revolution in ultra-compact device design, the Intel® NUC Kit NUC5i5RYH packs more features, including support for lightning-fast M.2 SSDs, into 4 inches square. This fully scalable, mini-PC comes with the latest 5th generation Intel® Core™ i5 processor, delivering the performance to drive intelligent computing in small spaces. Complete with WiFi 802.11ac wireless, Bluetooth, and 7.1 surround sound, the Intel NUC kit NUC5i5RYH is ideal for home theater PCs, media server PCs, and home hubs. The consumer infrared sensor means you can control your NUC from the comfort of your couch. And the system has room for either a 2.5″ HDD so you can store full length movies or an M.2 SSD so you can transfer data at lightning speeds. Use the Mini DisplayPort*, the Mini HDMI* video interface, or Intel® WiDi to connect your Intel NUC to a display. A replaceable lid gives you plenty of options to create the Intel NUC you want—with amazing style and features. There’s also a high-speed USB 3.0 charging port that lets you easily charge your tablet or smartphone quickly. With this kind of power, size, and versatility, you’ll rethink what’s possible.

KEY FEATURES

·         Case & Connectivity

The primarily metal case is very sturdy and high-quality. We do not like the glossy top as it is a magnet for smudges and scratches. The device is relatively light at 690 grams and its compact power adapter weighs a mere 180 grams (65 W).

·         Performance

The Intel Broadwell generation is a good step towards conservative power usage. The new package is far more optimized than the predecessor: less power consumption yet more performance. The manufacturers currently offer the NUC with an Intel Core i3-5010U, an Intel Core i5-5250U or an Intel Core i5-5300U.

• Processor

The performance of the Intel Core i5-5250U ranges between 1.6 to 2.7 GHz and the CPU can process up to 4 threads simultaneously. The TDP value (Thermal Design Power) of 15 W (including the Intel HD Graphics 6000 IGP) is the limiting factor for the CPU.

·         System Performance

The system performance of our test model is very dependent on the hardware: a conventional HDD or a single RAM module would negatively affect the performance. Fast RAM modules (1,866 MHz) bring tangible advantages. A 16 GB module from Intelligent Memory was recognized without issues, which increases the memory up to 32 GB RAM.
