ASRock continues to innovate in the mini-PC space with its latest release, the NUC BOX-1260P. Not for the faint of heart, it may have a hefty price tag, but in return, its Alder Lake processor delivers massive performance with 4 P-cores with HT and 8 E-cores for a total of 16 threads. Add in dual 2.5 GbE LAN, along with plenty of display outputs, and you get a system that offers exceptional performance per watt, versatility, and for some, a bit of untapped potential.

Benchmark Scores bench...mark? i do leave mark on bench sometime, to remember which one is the most comfortable. :o
seems to me the almost 2 yrs old ASRock 4X4 BOX-4800U is the better one or am i blind? or at least the BOX-1260P does not "walk all over it" it's more like "equally matched" with some clear win for the BOX-4800U, ok single core is a bit under the ADL of the BOX-1260P, similarly priced also but the 4800U could look better with a lower price given the hardware age :laugh:
i wonder the power consumption difference between the two knowing that the 4800U is 15w and the 1260P is 28w o_O and since there is no charts for power consumption.

Other than the newer CPU & dual Lans, this overpriced box has nuthin that my 2 year old, $400 mini me machine doesn't have, and it is nearly as fast as my son's 11th Gen desktop...

Seems like a lot people seem to forget that these little boxes were not designed to be super-duper powerhouse gammer/CAD rigs....but rather a modestly powerful everyday machine that can do most everyday tasks that the average person does, without taking up so much space & energy...
