ASUS has been named Intel’s first partner for the company’s Next Unit of Compute (NUC) mini PC business. The two companies have entered a non-official agreement that will see ASUS manufacture, sell and support the 10th- to 13th-generation products in Intel’s NUC line.
ASUS will likewise develop future NUC designs. In view of the business’ current lineup, ASUS could be creating future NUC mini computers, Do-It-Yourself packs for small laptops, Do-It-Yourself units for laptops, customizable boards, chassis and other gathering components.
Assuming you’ll review, Intel as of late let Engadget know that it’s ending its “direct investment” in its NUC business and will never again deliver first-party NUC products. Working with partners on a non-essential business will free up resources, which it can use to concentrate on making chips, although it did not elaborate on its reasoning. While Intel’s revenue was still down 36% year-over-year when compared to its results for the same period in 2022, it had previously stated that its earnings in the first quarter exceeded expectations. Additionally, the business stated that it remains cautious in this economy.
In its declaration of the partnership, Intel said ASUS’ “expertise and track record delivering industry-leading mini PCs to customers make it ideally suited to continue driving innovation and growth in NUC systems products.”
ASUS will lay out another specialty unit called “ASUS NUC BU” for everything things with Intel’s NUC. The maker will get a non-elite permit to Intel’s NUC frameworks, however, making it workable for the chipmaker to chipmaker with additional companies later on.
