From home office to digital signage, Topaz 2 is designed to be used across a wide range of computing applications. Offering up to 12 cores and 16 threads paired with the new Intel Thread Director, Topaz 2 provides powerful performance no matter the application or workload, thanks to its hybrid core architecture.

Starting at $599, three Topaz 2 models (NUC12TZi7, NUC12TZi5, and NUC12TZi3) are available to preorder from Simply NUC across our global sites. The NUC12TZi7 model based on the Intel Core i7-1260P processor is intended for usage where higher performance is needed.

It also offers dual Ethernet supporting 2.5 GbE speeds and a TPM (Trusted Platform Module) for secure communications where encryption is required. Topaz 2 is driven by Intel Xe graphics, allowing it to control a single 8K display, or up to four 4K displays with crystal clear visuals. This feature rich mini supports a variety of usages including office productivity workstation, home entertainment, and digital signage to name a few.
