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.

    Intel NUCs were very good machines but honestly they were completely overpriced compared to Chuwi/Minisforum/etc.

    My guess is they were just not enough sales, that’s all.

      What’s the Chuwi Equivalent to a Nuc? Not being snarky, im genuinely looking for a small server.

        Yeah, mini-computers are one thing, but the NUCs were more than that. Having a PCI-E card that you can slot into your computer to literally run a PC inside your PC is super unique and not something anyone else offers.

        Sad to see them drop this. I can understand that it’s not an in-demand market segment, but it was cool none-the-less

      Oh lort. You just gave me flashbacks. One of my kids bought one of those $200 Chuwi laptops and it would barf all over itself about once a month, so badly it would require a reinstall.
