LAS VEGAS, NV, UNITED STATES, January 8, 2018 /EINPresswire.com/ -- AUSTIN, Texas and Las Vegas, NV— Simply NUC, Inc., an Intel® Platinum Partner and leading Intel NUC integration company based in Round Rock, Texas, today announced it will be showing off the latest, and by far the most powerful NUC ever, at CES booth 51673 this week. Codenamed Hades Canyon and powered by the innovative new 8th Gen Intel® Core™ i7-8809G and i7-8705G processors, these incredibly powerful new NUCs bring together high-performance Intel Core H-series processors, second generation High Bandwidth Memory (HBM2) and a custom-to-Intel third-party discrete graphics chip from AMD’s Radeon Technologies Group – all in a single processor package.

“We now have a NUC for nearly every application, from low end to the very highest demanding use cases” said Chuck Abdouch, CTO of Simply NUC, “These new high-end NUCs with discrete graphics will excel in applications previously out of reach, such as high-end gaming, virtual reality (VR) applications, high-end CAD, movie quality video rendering and virtualized servers.
