Performance

The Intel Ultra Core 5 225H processor powers applications with four Performance cores while eight Efficient cores and two Low Power Efficient cores handle background tasks. The Performance cores have a base speed of 1.7 GHz and can be boosted up to 4.9 GHz. A built-in Neural Processor (NPU) accelerates AI workloads.

Expansion

There are two dual-channel DDR5-6400 CSO-DIMM slots available, supporting up to 96GB. There is also an M.2 2280 PCIe 5.0 x4 slot and an M.2 2242 PCIe 4.0 x4 slot. The tall form factor provides room for a separately purchased M.2 2280 expansion module.

High-Speed USB

A front-facing USB-C 3.2 Gen 2x2 port allows you to transfer up to 20 Gb/s with compatible devices. The front panel also includes two 10 Gb/s USB-A 3.2 Gen 2 ports. The rear panel includes two Thunderbolt 4 slots, a USB-A 3.2 Gen 2 port, and one USB-A 2.0 port.

Thunderbolt 4

Thunderbolt 4 is a hardware interface that utilizes the reversible USB-C connector and features a maximum throughput of 40 Gb/s when used with compatible devices. The connector also transmits data via USB4 at up to 20 Gb/s, and dual-bandwidth DisplayPort allows you to connect either one 8K monitor or up to two 4K displays simultaneously. Additionally, you can daisy chain up to six devices from a single Thunderbolt 4 port.

Network Connectivity

Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) support provides access to the less congested 6 GHz band with compatible wireless networks while enhancing reliability with signal optimization technologies. The 2.5G Ethernet port provides a fast and reliable wired internet connections.

Multi-Display Support

Enhance your workflow by connecting up four displays through the dual HDMI and two Thunderbolt 4 ports.

Flexible Mounting

Place this desktop system almost anywhere with included VESA mounting bracket, including on a wall or under a desk. You can also attach it to a monitor for an AIO computing experience. ASUS Power Sync allows you to simultaneously control the power for the NUC and compatible monitor.
