Intel Exiting the PC Business as it Stops Investment in the Intel NUC
(www.servethehome.com)
My main PC is my first ever Intel NUC and I just bought it a couple months ago. I love it. Sad to see them go.
That's too bad. I wanted to get a NUC when I can afford it. What are the alternativies?
Mission accomplished I would say. They have proposed a new form factor, kept on making and selling machines conforming to the form factor and showed the market it is feasible. And now when everyone is on board and the form factor is not so new anymore, it's time to leave.
It's a shame because the Nucs had a really clean but feature-rich BIOS, a modern design aesthetic and a generally high quality feel to them.
Eagerly waiting to see which manufacturer fills that spot - we've got the likes of Beelink, Minisforum and Gigabyte et al. but at the moment most feel like knock-offs IMO. There are some really appealing ones demoed on ServeTheHome now and again though...
This is fantastic for us homelabbers. Now I can pick up some insanely powerful ones years from now for dirt cheap!
Happy with Intel Nuc for the homelab / selfhosting because they don't take so many place and still have much power (sometimes on the cost of the fans loudness.
Interesting what the next years will bring.
Yeah, they were great as HTPCs as well. Nice little form factor.
