Intel is quitting on its adorable, powerful, and upgradable mini NUC computers (www.theverge.com)

Damn, this is a sad day for the homelab.

The article says Intel is working with partners to "continue NUC innovation and growth", so we will see what that manifests as.

Between Minisforum and Beelink putting out NUC-likes with AMD, Intel just can't compete. I'm biased in favor of team red to begin with, but you just cannot tell me an Intel NUC provides better per dollar value than the above's offerings. I've used NUCs, I like NUCs, but why pay more for less when there exist alternatives?

[–] billygoat@lemmy.fmhy.ml 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Exactly, for a home lab I would pick an Amd over Intel just to have the extra cores on top of costing less.

The reason for wanting intel is the iGPU to get quicksync.

[–] Pete90@feddit.de 2 points 2 years ago

Exactly. The only reason why I'm waiting for NUC12 right now. As far as my limited knowledge goes, AMD is behind here. Correct me, if I'm wrong.

I’m not too knowledgeable on the topic but I thought the amd iGPU had vce, which is a their version of quicksync?

💯

For me it's the hardware transcoding capabilities of the Nuc is what makes it stand out.

Quick sync is so good and well supported that Intel is a no brainier for me.

I mean, they're the OEM, they could easily have lowered their own prices. It's not like they were taking a loss on each unit.
