Intel recently made its graceful exit from the NUC business, passing the reins to its partners. Asus, in particular, has obtained a non-exclusive license to manufacture current and future NUCs. As a result of this agreement, a ROG NUC may be on the horizon, substituting Intel's NUC Extreme lineup.
According to Italian news outlet Bits and Chips' sources, Asus has already started development on a ROG NUC to supersede Intel's NUC 13 Extreme (Raptor Canyon) mini-PC. As the model name implies, Raptor Canyon leverages 13th Generation Raptor Lake processors. Therefore, it's logical that Raptor Canyon's successor, the ROG NUC, will tap into Intel's upcoming 14th Generation Meteor Lake chips.
