Puget Systems, one of the best system integrators on the planet, has published a deep dive into the content creation performance of the Intel NUC 13 Extreme. This machine is simultaneously the largest NUC ever made, but also still within the realms of SFF. The tested unit included a Core i9-13900K, 64GB of DDR5-4800, RTX 3080 10GB, and Samsung 980 Pro 2TB. The CPU did suffer a bit of performance loss compared to their open bench 13900K comparison, however it wasn’t severe. In many tests the NUC 13 Extreme was right in between the 13700K and 13900K in terms of performance. Very impressive.
