Under the agreement, Asuss new business unit, Asus NUC BU, will manufacture and sell 10th to 13th Gen NUC systems products as well as develop future designs.

The partnership will see Intel customers receive product and support continuity for their existing Intel NUC systems.

Intels latest, 13th Gen NUC mini PCs which became available earlier this year are available with i3, i5, and i7 processors and are designed to run Pro and Home versions of Windows 11 from the box. They use DDR4 RAM and PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSDs.

Customers can also choose to buy laptops, customizable kits, or just the
board itself. Intel did not immediately respond to TechRadar Pro s query
about whether prices would remain unchanged as purchases transfer from Intel directly to Asus as a partner.
