Intel NUC 13 Extreme "Raptor Canyon" Compute Element Pictured

[btarunr]

An alleged low-res picture of the next-generation NUC 13 Extreme "Raptor Canyon" compute element codenamed "Shrike Bay," was leaked to the web. NUC Extreme desktops over the past several generations have been using a form-factor where the CPU, chipset, memory, and SSD are located on a single add-on card with custom wiring; while the rest of the system consists of a PCIe backplane (analogous to the ISA backplane systems from the 1980s). The NUC 13 Extreme compute element rocks a 13th Gen Core "Raptor Lake" processor, possibly a switch to DDR5 from DDR4 on the NUC 12 Extreme, and processor options spanning the Core i9-K/KS, i7-K/KS, and i5-K. A liquid+air hybrid cooling solution much like that of the NUC 12 Extreme, could cool the various hot components on the compute element. According to leaked roadmaps, "Raptor Canyon" and the "Shrike Bay" compute element could debut within Q4-2022.

Are users going to be forced into buying new chasis for upgrade?

Sure i get it, it's just a mock up of a product but still, they could not spend 10-20 seconds longer on it ?.

Looks like the typical high ISO jpg mush you get from a Samsung smartphone.

That i would not know as i pay 0 interest to "smartphones".

I don't think so, why else do they have a SKU for just the compute module?

If they are planning on this being something they refresh every year, they should make it an open standard. That way, other manufacturers can jump in with chassis and back plane designs at the very least. It's a really cool concept, but I struggle to get behind anything that is proprietary.
