Simply NUC, a company widely known for manufacturing Intel NUC products, has teased a new 4x4 Mini PC expected to feature Intel's Core i9 CPUs.
Simply NUC Teases "Onyx" Mini PC Featuring The First Intel Core i9 CPU In A 4x4 Design
While the company hasn't disclosed details apart from a teaser, Simply NUC has revealed that the upcoming "Onyx" product will be the world's first 4x4 design featuring an Intel Core i9 CPU. Intel 13th Gen Raptor Lake CPUs are expected to be incorporated within this design but as for the SKU, we expect them to be based on the H-series family rather than the higher-end HX designs which might be a bit too much for the small chassis and limited space.
Based on the teaser, the "Onyx" 4x4 mini-PC boasts a much thicker design which could feature a beefier cooling solution or extensive storage capabilities.
The form factor of the mini-PC is expected to be a basic 4x4 design, similar to Intel's Wall Street Canyon. While the company did release the "NUC 12 Extreme" mini-PC powered by the i9-12900, we have yet to see the inclusion of Raptor Lake models, which we believe the new NUC will feature.
The discontinuation of Intel's NUC division has surely disappointed us all, however, companies like Simply NUC has pledged to bring improvements onto the platform. Here is what the company states in Intel's discontinuation announcement via a press release:
Simply NUC, Inc, a leading mini PC solutions company, announced they are prepared to continue ramping their investment in mini PCs and the NUC product line as Intel has announced their intentions to stop investment in this area and pivot their strategy to enable ecosystem partners to continue NUC innovation and growth.
We're about to redefine #computing performance with the upcoming launch of the most powerful NUC ever.

We expect further details on the new mini-PC to be unveiled soon. Intel's NUC lineup has seen a bit of a "downfall" after the discontinuation announcement, and we hope that it sees a revival through a lifeline which is expected to be provided by Simple NUC and ASUS ROG. Expect more info to land in the coming weeks as we get closer to launch.
