🥳 I’m super excited I can finally talk about the new Intel NUCs! 🥳

Welcome the new big Brother/Sister - NUC 9 Extreme (codename Ghost Canyon) AND NUC 9 Pro (codename Quartz Canyon).

FYI - Form factor is the same for both the Extreme & Pro

Difference between the Extreme & Pro are the CPU options

👉NUC 9 Extreme will have 9th Gen CPUs (i9-9980Hk, i7-9750H, i5-9300H)

👉NUC 9 Pro will have 9th Gen i7-9850H & Xeon E-2286M!!!!😍

The NUC 9 will also officially support 64GB of memory and will have 3 x M.2 slots, which is going to be awesome for a larger vSAN setup! The systems are also Optane ready 🔥

/3
The NUC 9 will include two PCIe (x16 & x8) slot for additional IO capabilities like adding GPU or more Network AND Storage! Let your imagination go wild on the types of configs you can now have 😁

You can see why it's much “bigger” but more capable!

NUC 9 uses the new Intel NUC Compute Element enabling modularity of the system. “Element" houses the CPU, Memory & Storage (2 x M.2) using standard PCIe. This will enable seamless upgrades in future along w/enabling chassis innovations. Expect more from Eco

I'm sure everyone is wondering if ESXi will work w/new NUC 9 Extreme & Pro?

YUP! Here's ESXi 6.7 Update 3 running on new Intel NUC 9 Pro 🙌

Both on-board 1GbE NIC & Storage Controllers fully recognized, no tweaks/drivers required. vSAN configured!

Here’s a visual comparing the size of the new NUC 9 Pro with some of the popular VMware #Homelab platforms like NUC “Cube”, Hades Canyon, 2018 Mac Mini & Supermicro E200-8D

It’s definitely BIG but also very flexible in various configs you can have!
