Can they even specify any processor model? Or this is just an anouncement of supporting new CPUs......

TheinsanegamerNbleh. not even iris options.

Why is it only intel's nucs ever use the nicer models?
Cost might be one thing. All mobile CPU's with Iris is north of $300 afaik.

We have two of the Gigabyte Brix i5-4570R (which apparently has the Iris Pro 5200 in it?) boxes at work and I was rather pleased with them. They make a little noise when the workload increases, but it's not too bad. I rather liked them.

There were some models with a GTX 760 in them, I think, and those ran terribly hot and throttled often. As long as you're not going crazy with heat on these things, they're pretty nice.

Prima.VeraYou gotta love those Intel scammers and their naming schemes. The i5 and i7 are actually i3 type with higher freq, and 1 extra MB of cache...
Unbelievable.
That's not too uncommon for mobile and ULV processors. i3/i5/i7s are all more performance segments within a processor classification rather than performance segment across all processors. Seems like they'd have to call everything in that line an i3 and simply not offer an i5 or i7 branded part for those.
