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.

Damn, we are using them at my work and they have been very good as remotely updateable media kiosks. I just started to learn how to use them. Ofcourse well keep using them for some time still, but at some point we'll need to find another solution.

I was also thinking getting one to work as a streaming computer. Currently I use one computer setup, which causes performance issues with some games. Would a nuc work as a computer to encode the video live or would it make more sense to use a machine with s proper GPU? Any thoughts?

Encoding uses the iGPU. The iGPU should usually support 4k 60fps if it's a recent CPU.

So Intel Nuc's are not probably ideal for that job? 1080p is good enough for me for now :)

[–] randombullet 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

NUCs have an iGPU, you should be fine.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Great! I'll need to get one before they run out of stock then.

Yeah, I'm not watching Tek Syndicate content.

Point is not who made it, but the PC. Here's the pure link since clicking on video description was too hard: https://www.bee-link.com/catalog/product/index?id=493

Maybe it doesn't matter to you but it does to me. I'm subscribed and watch Level1 videos so I still remember the mess Logan caused. They had a nice channel that could be even better today but he fucked it up.

(thanks for the link, though)

I do remember there was some drama, but to be honest I never followed them nor do I follow now. Saw the video some days ago, found hardware presented interesting and shared that. That about sums it up.
