According to this leaked roadmap, the comming generation of Intel's NUC mini-PC line-up (Codename "Ghost Canyon") will feature a PCIe x16 expansion slot, up to 3 M.2 slots, and run on either i5, i7, or even i9 with up to 8 cores and 16 threads.
This NUC generation will probably also see a deviation from the currently used UCFF (4"x4") form factor, as the platform is listed as being compatible with M.2 22110, and the x16 expansion slot is also too large for that board size. I'm hoping to see a return of the thin mITX formfactor based on these numbers.
This German article also speculates about the use of the MXM formfactor for PCIe expansion cards.
