Intel announces NUC codenamed Dragon Canyon 12 Extreme，And the computing module NUC code-named Eden Bay 12 Extreme Compute Element。Intel says，This is a highly modular desktop computer kit，Designed to deliver exceptional performance for high performance computers，Ideal for tasks such as gaming and content creation。
NUC 12 Extreme adopted and last year”Beast Canyon”（Beast Canyon/NUC 11 Extreme) exactly the same machine design，Both are small chassis with a body size of about 8 liters，The specific size is 357×189×120mm，The front panel skull lighting effect panel can be customized。
It can still install dual socket、Full-length PCIe x16 discrete graphics card，12" (305 mm) maximum length，And this time it was upgraded to PCIe 5.0，Meant for next-gen NVIDIA RTX 40 series、The AMD RX 7000 series is ready。
The biggest change is the first support for replaceable、Upgradable CPU processor，Standard 12th generation Core，Equipped with a standard LGA 1700 socket， Intel offers the i9-12900 16-core、i7-12700 12 core two versions，The former is 16-core 24-thread specifications，Turbo frequency is 5.1 GHz，The latter is 12 cores and 20 threads，Turbo frequency is 4.9 GHz，Baseline power consumption (TDP) is 65W。
Users can choose to use the NUC 12 Install double groove thickness on Extreme、Full-length discrete graphics card，The maximum supported length is 305mm，And the PCIe x16 slot supports the PCIe 5.0 specification。
but，The memory does not support the new generation of DDR5，Instead continue with DDR4-3200，SO-DIMM notebook type，Dual socket dual channel，The highest frequency is 3200MHz，Maximum capacity 64GB。
Storage offers three M.2 slots，One of the M.2 2280 connection processors，Support PCIe 4.0 x4，Another M.2 2280 and one M.2 2242 connection die set，Support PCIe 4.0 x4/NVMe or SATA 6Gbps。 They support SSD RAID 0/1，Also supports Intel Optane SSD、Optane M10/H10/H20 Acceleration Disk。
Internet，Wireless Delivery AX 201 Wi-Fi 6、AX211 Wi-Fi 6E，Support Bluetooth 5.2，built-in antenna，Wired upgrade 10 Gigabit network card，The i9 version also has an additional 2.5 gigabit network card (i225-LM)。
interface，There are two Thunderbolt 4 (support 5V/9V mobile phone fast charging)，One HDMI 2.0b，a miniDP 1.4，Six USB-A 3.2 Gen2。
NUC 12 Extreme will be available in the second quarter of，In terms of price, i7 is $1150、i9 $1450。
