ASRock NUC 1300 BOX/ NUCS 1300 BOX mini PCs are powered by Intel Raptor Lake-P mobile processors

ASRock Industrial NUC 1300 BOX and NUCS 1300 BOX series mini PCs are equipped with Intel 13th generation Raptor Lake-P mobile processors up to the Core i7-1360P 12-core hybrid processor with four Performance cores and eight Efficiency cores.

Yesterday, we wrote about the ADLINK Express-RLP COM Express module based on Raptor Lake-P embedded or industrial processors, but ASRock decided to use Raptor Lake-P mobile processors in their industrial “fanned embedded box PCs” coupled with up to 64GB DDR5/DDR4 memory, and featuring high-speed interfaces such as USB4, 2.5GbE, and more.

The mini PC ships with a 19V/90W power adapter, a screw package, and a VESA mounting bracket. ASROCK provides drivers for Windows 10 and Windows 11, all of which are marked “Beta”, but I’d expect Linux distributions to eventually be supported as well.

NUC 1300 Box Series

The NUC 1300 Box series have a thicker design with support for a 2.5-inch SATA drive, and a slightly different feature set including two 2.5GbE port, as well as HDMI and DisplayPort video outputs. Four models are available with the same processor mix as above, but the D5 variant comes with DDR5 memory and a Realtek ALC256 audio codec, while the D4 keeps the DDR4 memory and ALC233 codec.

As one would expect the accessories and software support (Windows 10/11) is the same for the NUC and NUCS models. All six Raptor Lake-P mini PC are suitable for gaming, content creation, productivity, digital signage, AI gateway, smart retail, etc…

The company did not provide availability information in their email press email. More details may be found on ASRock Industrial website.
