Our review unit, as mentioned, is currently available for online pre-order at an average price floating around $375. That’s not much, but the NUC does not include the hard drive or RAM. A compatible 128GB drive can be purchased for as little as $70, and 4GB of notebook RAM can be had for around $40.
The Intel NUC5i5RYK didn’t light up the benchmarks, but when loaded up with 8GB of RAM and a fast SSD, overall performance is still quite good. With its low-power dual-core processor and on-die HD 6000-series graphics engine, the NUC5i5RYK won’t offer the same kind of performance as systems...
The Kingston HyperX Impact Black 16GB kit of 1866MHz DDR3L Memory helped improve the overall system responsiveness on our Intel NUC (NUC5i5RYK) and the system was rock solid!
With the M.2 slot capable of both SATA and PCIe storage, the performance of the NUC in this area can be outstanding. Using the Intel SSD 530 with the SATA interface we see performance hitting as high as 540 MB/s read and 500 MB/s writes.
Intel's Broadwell has finally arrived in the ultra-small form factor PC, the Intel NUC5i5RYK. Today Steven gives us a full rundown on what it can do.
Great PC for the value. Decided to buy this product to mount on the back of a large flat panel TV. Comes with a VESA mount to do so! Can't stress this enough, this is a BAREbone PC, meaning you will need to purchase the RAM, HD, and Operating System separately.
