The first data of the new Intel Atlas Canyon NUCs have just been leaked, incorporating the Jasper Lake-J processors, which bring us as a novelty the jump to 10 nm.
These new NUC stand out above all for their new processors, although they are certainly no revolution, as we continue with the Intel HD Graphics GPU solution, and we are limited in FullHD quality in services such as Netflix that still requires an Intel Core processor. A pity that these processors do not jump to the new Intel Xe GPUs even if it is in a version with less 3D power and but with support for AV1 codec.
Processor, RAM and storage
We have three different versions of this generation of NUC:
- NUC11ATKPE – Intel Celeron J4505 Dual Core 2.0- 2.7 GHz / Intel HD Graphics @ 750 MHz.
- NUC11ATKC4 – Intel Celeron J5105 Quad Core 2.0-2.9 GHz / Intel HD Graphics @ 800 MHz
- NUC11ATKPE – Intel Pentium Silver J6005 Quad core 2.0-3.3 GHz / Intel HD Graphics @ 900 MHz
These processors will have a power consumption between 6 and 10W TPD, the usual in this sector of Intel. The maximum RAM memory is 16 GB DDR4-2933 MHz in two SODIMM and for storage we can have a SSD M.2 2280 NVMe PCIe4, with the option to mount a SATA SSD, although there will be versions with 64 GB eMMC for the OS.
Other specifications
Regarding wireless connectivity this small PC includes WiFi 6 Intel AX101 and Bluetooth 5.2 with internal antennas. In terms of connectors we have four USB 3.1 ports, two USB 2.0 connectors, two 3.5 mm audio jack, Gigabit Ethernet network port, HDMI 2.0a video output and a DisplayPort connector, both with support for video output up to 4K@60fps resolutions.
This small computer measures 135 x 115 x 36 mm, includes VESA support and Kensington lock on the chassis.
Price and availability
- A product that given the scarcity of components we will have to wait several months to see it on sale, possibly we will find before other Chinese mini PCs with these processors on the market.
