New details have surfaced on Intel's next-generation NUC systems - built with the intention to carry the highest performance density per available chassis capacity in the computer market (the aim is a 1.35 L case). We already knew Intel's Panther Canyon NUC would bring about their Tiger Lake-U designs would be carrying the company's Tiger Lake-U CPUs, which should combine next-generation "Willow Cove" CPU cores with an iGPU based on Intel's new Xe graphics architecture. A new piece of data here, as has been reported, is that Intel is also working on an enthusiast-class NUC under the "Phantom Canyon" moniker, which should bring about increased graphics performance.

Even if Intel's graphics architecture is a mindblowing performance improvement over their current graphics technologies, there's only so much an integrated graphics solution can do. Now, we seemingly have confirmation, via a 3D Max Benchmark, that Intel's Panther Canyon will be paired with an NVIDIA GeForce 1660 Ti graphics card (scoring 5,355 points). The 3D Mark TimeSpy test system uses a TigerLake-U engineering sample clocked at 2.3 GHz base and 4.4 GHz boost, alongside an 80 W NVIDIA GTX 1660 Ti (Notebook) and 8 GB of RAM.







Expect those ES clocks to increase in final silicon; however, those are already some respectable numbers for such a small enclosure - especially if the CPU model really a 28 W one, as is being speculated. Further speculation places the Intel "Phantom Canyon" NUC, with its "Enthusiast" Performance, as making use of an NVIDIA RTX 2070 Max-Q, which has the same 80 W TDP as the GTX 1660 Ti notebook version.

You can game with that thing at 1080p no problem, without fans spinning making noise and dust, water going through tubes and a electric bill on steroids.

What, are they not allowed to use parts from both vendors? Not everything is fuel for the fanboy agenda.

Missing the point. 8705G and 8809G were Kaby Lake, Polaris-Vega and HBM2 on a single die, and took no insignificant amount of engineering and special driver support. But in the end, that kind of collaboration could only be a one-off; AMD is back on its feet and looking to bigger and better things, and Intel is confident in Xe and its new compute elements that make room for a x16 card, especially after receiving the talent that had jumped ship from AMD.

It's quite sad that Kaby-G relies on Intel releasing special combo drivers to keep it alive, because Intel has already stopped doing so. It really was a cool product.

Do you know what was the result of the NUC that included Vega? I'll give you 3 guesses, but one of them has to be "Intel started an exodus of manpower from Radeon to start its own Graphics Division"

Teeeheee and then includes an Nvidia GPU in its next NUC

Raja must be pleased. Poor Xe

Its like every time Intel has a great graphics product, they find a way to flush it down the toilet. Remember Broadwell C...

I have close to zero faith in Xe to be fair. For consumer that is.

I... wouldn't expect them to develop something similar to the multi-billion dollar, thousand-men-power Turing in ability within that short time... would I...

Don't know, they already had a prototype version and a mother of all GPUs... apparently they're making something great ;) They are ALSO marketing Xe as their IGP now.
