Intel's specialty isn't just in making processors, of which their latest 12th Gen Alder Lake series has got many of us to believe that happier days are coming for the blue company - with processors that could finally compete with AMD's own Ryzen flagship processors.
They also make great self-contained, small form factor PCs, like the NUC 11 Extreme Kit aka Beast Canyon that I reviewed last year.
Well, for 2022, we now have an update in the form of the NUC 12 Extreme Kit. Also known as Dragon Canyon, the new Extreme Kit is essentially a refresh of last year’s model – with the same chassis and internal layout as its predecessor. The big change is, of course, the switch to Intel’s 12th Gen Alder Lake platform, which has already proven to be leaps and bounds more capable than the 11th Gen Tiger Lake silicon that was used in the NUC 11 Extreme Kit.
