Minisforum Introduces New 12th Mini PC with Dual Thunderbolt 4 Design

[btarunr]

Minisforum unveiled the new Intel 12th Mini PC NUCG5 with dual 40 Gbps thunderbolt 4 ports today. Equipped with the powerful Intel Core i5-1240P chip, NUCG5 is even more powerful, capable, and affordable for the edge, business, or home. The Intel Core i5-1240P is a mid-range Alder Lake-P family SoC with 12 cores/16 threads. It has 12 MB of L3 cache and operates at 1700 MHz by default, but it can boost up to 4.4 GHz, depending on the workload. It also integrates the 80 EU Intel Iris Xe Graphics that can run up to 1.30 GHz.

Measuring 109.5 mm long, 110.5 mm wide and 61.6 mm high, NUCG5 is even smaller than the Minisforum UM series lineup such as Minisforum UM560. The dual Thunderbolt 4 ports design makes it stand out among other members.



Other ports include:

• RJ45 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet Port ×1
• USB3.2 Type-A ×2 (Front)
• USB3.2 Type-A ×1 (Rear)
• USB2.0 Type-A ×1 (Rear)
• 3.5 mm Combo Jack ×1
• HDMI 2.0×2

The NUCG5 is orderable now from Minisforum's website. Customers can choose from two base configurations,16 GB RAM+512 GB SSD and 32 GB RAM+512 GB SSD. The shipment will begin in March.

Last gen CPU...

13th Gen are just starting to make into laptops and it will be quite sometime before we see them in this FF.

Last gen CPU...

Are there any current gen CPUs in the same power envelope / packaging?

For example I'd sure like a current gen ryzen apu, but those are still not available, even though zen4 has launched.

Even with a last gen CPU, with the dual DP & 2.5G network, this little box will be moar than sufficient for any normal usage scenario (and perhaps some light gammin too !), office or soho setting in which the user would prefer to NOT have a lappy for whatever reason.... myself included....

Of course the REAL question is P$R$I$C$E$S, which ALWAYS seem to be left out of these half-assed PR's
