Given that Cannonlake shipments have been rumoured to be below six figures, shared between a laptop design and this NUC as far as I am aware, maybe rarity value will kick in down the line if you are fortunate (or not) enough to own one.
thats a damn shame... 10nm intel is only good for its new gpu, and that gpu would be perfect for a little nuc. litterally all nucs are good for is watching some high quality videos and doing light apps for the tv and this would have been the ultimate. damn.
Rubbish NUCS are good for everything a normal dekstop PC except of course adding BULK by way of an additional gfx card. Shame that NV has also killed off the mxm card formfactor , not that it was ever really punted to home consumer. Will keep a lookout for these at sale prices. Soldered ram is a real deal breaker for most, the 4gb version will be pretty worthless. N>B. I thought this had been announced (on slides) a few weeks ago ...
I pity the fools who buy Intel's BS and buy the duds that will be ALL of its 10nm chips. On second thought, if they do buy Intel's BS anyway, maybe they deserve to be abused like the 10nm NUC guys just were.
Why? They got the hardware that was promised, didn't they? And the systems will work just fine even if no new ones are sold. It's just that the 10 nm process doesn't really help the chips.
unlike guy below me, I agree with such sentiment, sooner the consumer wakes up and smells the not so pleasing "coffee" the better, WE the consumer deserve FULL truth, not 1/2 arsed version of marketing BS to get more sales from an already "money flush" corporation that has been shafting many for decades which is the TRUTH.
so what, they make a few good things, what about all the background BS that still persists, often at the "cost" of everyone else having a "fair playing field"
.....
same goes for other makers of tech products...we need BETTER we deserve BETTER, not the same old same old different day increasing cost (considering how many of us DO NOT get the same $$$$$ we once did)
oh wait, I guess it is "ok" to have overpaid and have to siphon through the security "risky" just to say you have a product from company X cause they "say" it is "the best" (often ONLY cause the compilers and shady tactics make it appear so)
-----------
hard to be picky and choosy when one really does NOT know what they are buying/using.
Now, now, hyperbole much? Athlon 64 / K8 CPUs were not shitty CPUs in any way. Sure, it would be rather silly to use one of them as your main driver for the last decade, but that would be no fault of those Athlon 64 / K8 CPUs... ;-P
I have 2 Intel NUCs (NUC7i7BNH), one sits next to my 2 Workstations, and the other is down in my Workshop. I got the ones that you put in the hardware. Have to say that they are quite a good deal for all you get. I paid $500 each. I hope Intel continues to make these. Driver updates are quick and painless. Photo and Video Editing is fast enough.

Hopefully Ice Lake and Comet Lake NUCs are coming in 2020.psychobriggsy - Wednesday, November 6, 2019 - link

They're not NUCs any more, they're PUCs.austinsguitar - Wednesday, November 6, 2019 - link

Cannon Lake had the old GPU design, as far as I know. So any benefit would purely come from the process, not the architecture.dromoxen - Thursday, November 7, 2019 - link

The 10nm process will be ready any day now.The 10nm process is super reliable.
I pity the fools who buy Intel's BS and buy the duds that will be ALL of its 10nm chips. On second thought, if they do buy Intel's BS anyway, maybe they deserve to be abused like the 10nm NUC guys just were.

What if the person below also agrees? Since I'm down here already, I'll go ahead and do just that. Gears, meet the wrench!wode - Friday, November 8, 2019 - link
I'm just glad the last Intel cpu I bought was a Pentium 60TheSkullCaveIsADarkPlace - Friday, November 8, 2019 - link
Fortunately, the purchase of a (pre-assembled) PC or laptop containing an Intel CPU is not really a CPU purchase. Phew, dodged a bullet there... ;-PPhynaz - Friday, November 8, 2019 - link
Wow, you used shitty CPUs for the last decade.TheSkullCaveIsADarkPlace - Saturday, November 9, 2019 - link

Seems they never received later Specture microcode update. Not even appeared on official pdf release. Latest bios version 2a is dated April 2018.
