In recent years, ASUS has frequently made a name for itself with AI-powered technological products, and the company has made another impressive move. The company has introduced its AI-powered mini PC called NUC 14 Pro AI, which combines performance and efficiency in a compact design. Standing out with both its power and innovative features, this device has attracted the attention of tech enthusiasts. So, what are the technical specifications of the ASUS NUC 14 Pro AI?
Features of ASUS NUC 14 Pro AI
ASUS’s new mini PC, the NUC 14 Pro AI, is equipped with Intel Core Ultra series processors. It offers options for Core Ultra 5, 7, and 9. With an impressive AI processing power of 120 TOPS — meaning it can perform 120 trillion operations per second — this device delivers three times more AI performance than its predecessors, thanks to its NPU (Neural Processing Unit). For those unfamiliar, an NPU is a specialized processor designed for AI and machine learning tasks.
Integrated with Microsoft Copilot+, the ASUS NUC 14 Pro AI also features an Intel Arc GPU, boasting 67 TOPS of graphic processing power. With its XeSS and XMX AI engines, the device promises a superior experience in gaming and content creation.
When it comes to memory and storage, the mini PC offers flexibility, supporting up to 32GB LPDDR5x-8533 RAM and up to 2TB NVMe SSD storage.
In terms of connectivity, the device features Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4, ensuring superior wireless performance. Additionally, it includes two Thunderbolt 4 ports for fast data transfer and multi-device support, along with HDMI, USB 3.2, and 2.5G LAN ports.
From a design perspective, the ASUS NUC 14 Pro AI has a compact size, measuring 0.6 liters in volume and just 34 mm in height, making it a space-saving option. While its compact size may lead to concerns about its cooling system, ASUS guarantees stable operation even during intensive use, thanks to its advanced thermal management. Lastly, the mini PC comes equipped with TPM (Trusted Platform Module) and fingerprint recognition features for enhanced security.
