The Intel NUC 12 Extreme Kit is a barebone system designed for users who require high-end desktop performance within a compact form factor. It is built around a 12th Generation Intel Core i7-12700 processor, providing a foundation for computationally intensive tasks, content creation, or gaming. As a barebone kit, it allows for extensive customization, requiring the user to install their own memory, storage, and operating system. The 8-liter chassis provides the core components while leaving key hardware choices to the end user to complete the build.
The system's motherboard utilizes the Intel Z690 chipset and includes integrated Intel UHD Graphics 770 for baseline video output. A primary feature for performance-focused configurations is the PCIe 5.0 x16 slot, which accommodates a discrete graphics card. Connectivity is comprehensive, featuring a 10 GbE port for high-speed wired networking, along with Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3 for wireless connections. The interface selection includes two Thunderbolt 4 ports, an HDMI port, and a DisplayPort for multi-monitor setups.
