NUC 15 Pro Cyber Canyon: Mini-PC with impressive AI performance (2025)

Simply NUC, a company we've alreadycovered several times here, has now expanded its lineup of compact PC systems with the addition of the NUC 15 Pro Cyber Canyon. Several versions of the device will be available, including two chassis options: The Tall and Slim models have a height of 54 mm (2.13 in) and 37 mm (1.46 in), respectively, and both versions share a base footprint of 117 x 112 mm (4.61 x 4.41 in). The mini-PC systems can be configured with a range of processors. The top-end model features an Intel Core Ultra 7 265H, which not only offers great CPU performance but also packs an NPU capable of up to 13 TOPS of AI performance (total platform performance: 97 TOPS). This enables AI models to be trained locally on the device, offering the benefit of enhanced data security. Other processor options include theIntel Core Ultra 5 225H, Ultra 5 235H and Ultra 7 255H, as well as the non-Ultra Intel Core 7 240H, Core 5 210H and Core 3 100U.

The NUC systems feature two DDR5 memory slots with support for up to 96 GB of RAM and can also accommodate one M.2 2280 and one M.2 2242 SSD.

I have been active as a journalist for over 10 years, most of it in the field of technology. I worked for Tom’s Hardware and ComputerBase, among others, and have been working for Notebookcheck since 2017. My current focus is particularly on mini PCs and single-board computers such as the Raspberry Pi – so in other words, compact systems with a lot of potential. In addition, I have a soft spot for all kinds of wearables, especially smartwatches. My main profession is as a laboratory engineer, which is why neither scientific contexts nor the interpretation of complex measurements are foreign to me.
