Intel NUC 12 Pro Kit - Wall Street Canyon

Intel has updated its compact NUC mini PC series with the new Alder Lake-P SoCs. The name "Wall Street Canyon" signifies the latest model series based on the modern SoCs. There are two base configurations, which differ in terms of their dimensions. The slightly higher-end model carries the "Tall" moniker, which indicates the option for an additional 2.5-inch drive. By contrast, our "Slim" test device does not offer this option. In terms of the price, about 100 USD separates the two variants. Both devices are only able as a barebone. Thus, users will have to install the RAM and storage themselves.

For our testing, we installed two 8-GB DDR4-3200 modules and a 512-GB SSD in our test sample. The latest available version of Windows 11 Professional at the time of this review serves as the operating system.

Intel NUC 12 Pro Kit im Detail

Case

Visually, the Wall Street Canyon is very obviously an Intel NUC. The exterior design of the device is very subtle and there are no glossy surfaces anywhere on the system. Although the bottom of the case consists of metal, doubling as a cooling solution for the storage, a noticeable portion of the NUC consists of plastic. The device has a robust metal frame, which has almost become standard on the compact Intel NUCs and provides the PC with the necessary rigidity. With a height of just 37 mm (~1.46 in), our Slim version is quite small. Furthermore, the device does not take up a lot of space on a desk due to its small footprint of 11.7 x 11.2 cm (~4.61 x 4.41 in). Alternatively, it can be attached to a monitor with the included VESA mount.

Connectivity

The Intel NUC 12 Pro Kit offers all the most common options in terms of the port selection. There are four USB type-A and two USB type-C ports. The type-C ports support USB4 speeds. The two Thunderbolt interfaces also vastly increase the flexibility of the system. The wide range of available accessories is almost endless. Finally, there are two HDMI ports and a 2.5G Ethernet port.

Back: AC adapter, 2x USB4 (type-C), 1x USB 3.2, 1x USB 2.0, LAN 2,5G, 2x HDMI 2.1

Communication

On the NUC 12 Pro Kit, Intel's own Wi-Fi 6E AX211 module is used for wireless networking. It performs well in our testing. Regardless, it does not quite the transfer rates we were hoping for when sending data. The Morefine S600-Apex achieves significantly better results with the same module. We used our reference router Asus ROG Rapture GT-AXE11000 for this test.

Accessories

Aside from the device itself, the package includes the 120-watt AC adapter and a plate for VESA mounting.

Maintenance

Like all compact Intel NUCs, the NUC 12 Pro Kit allows for quick and easy maintenance via the bottom of the device. The bottom cover is fixed by four small screws and doubles as a cooler for the SSDs. Once inside, accessing the RAM and SSD slots is very straightforward.

Performance - Core i7 with 12 Cores

Compact PCs are becoming more and more powerful, as users working with the Intel NUC 12 Pro Kit will quickly realize. At the heart of the system, there is a 12-core CPU with 16 threads, making the compact system an excellent choice for demanding tasks.

Testing Conditions

We performed all benchmarks using the balanced power profile. We did not modify the CPU performance settings and left everything on auto in the BIOS settings.

Processor

With the Intel Core i7-1260P, the Intel NUC 12 Pro kit includes a very recent SoC. Thanks to its 12 physical cores and a total of 16 threads, the Intel Core i7-1260p is a solid choice even for demanding users. It is rated for a burst TDP (PL2) of 64 watts and a continuous TDP (PL1) of 40 watts. Compared to its competitors, the Intel NUC 12 Pro Kit performs very well. Among its compact PC competitors, only the Morefine S600-Apex is able to achieve a slightly better overall score. A 14 percent deficit compared to an Intel Core i5-12600K is still not particularly large. This further illustrates just how well this mobile SoC is able to perform.

System Performance

Unfortunately, the Intel NUC 12 Pro Kit is not able to seamlessly transition its good CPU benchmark scores into good synthetic benchmark scores. Disregarding the Intel Core i5-12600K, it only places third in PCMark 10. By contrast, Crossmark once again appears to favor our test device and restores the old performance hierarchy. Similarly, we observe above-average transfer rates compared to other mini PCs in the RAM tests.

Storage Solution

Our test sample of the Intel NUC 12 Pro Kit supports up to two M.2 SSDs. However, users will have to pay attention to the form factor. While the primary NVMe-M.2 slot only supports 80mm SSDs, the secondary M.2 slot only accepts shorter 42mm SSDs.

We use a Transcend SSD and RAM from our hardware stock. The SSD performance is solid. However, other devices in our comparison are equipped with faster SSDs. The importance of these results should not be overestimated, since users will be able to install an SSD of their choice in the Intel NUC 12 Pro Kit barebone.

Intel NUC 12 Pro Kit NUC12WSKi7: Ø2242 (1995.64-2278.98)

GPU Performance

An Intel Iris Xe Graphics G7 with 96 EUs is used as the integrated graphics solution. Performance-wise, it is only suitable for 2D rendering. The 3D performance is significantly lacking compared to a dedicated GPU. However, an external GPU can be connected via Thunderbolt instead. We tried this using our Razer Core X and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 Ti and documented the results, which can be found in the following graphs. In a nutshell, the performance of the Inte NUC 12 Pro Kit increases substantially in this scenario, where it exceeds even that of the Ace Magician TK11-A0.

Gaming Performance

The iGPU is not suitable for gaming use. At best, some titles are playable at low resolutions and low graphics settings. Regardless, the gaming experience still is not great. If you are looking for a gaming device, a model with a dedicated GPU will be a better fit. The latest models HX90G and NUCXi7 from Minisforum can be suitable alternatives. Alternatively, a Thunderbolt eGPU dock can be used. We used the Razer Core X in combination with the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 Ti to test this configuration. Although this setup is able to run many games at high resolutions, the performance is still significantly worse compared to a traditional desktop PC. This is a result of the Thunderbolt 4 ports being limited to just 4 PCIe lanes.

Emissions

System Noise

The Intel NUC 12 Pro Kit is only quiet during idle. The fan softly runs at 33 dB(A), making it barely noticeable. Under load, this value increases to an average of 38 dB(A) and an even higher 43 dB(A) during the stress test. That being said, the Intel NUC 12 Pro Kit still is not the loudest device in our comparison. However, competitors such as the Minisforum EliteMini HX90 are able to remain much quieter.

Temperatures

During idle and during undemanding tasks, the surface temperatures of the Intel NUC 12 Pro Kit remain relatively cool. Heat is able to quickly escape from the case through the back.

When stressing the system with Prime95, the Intel Core i7-1260P reaches a peak temperature of 93 °C (199.4 °F) and a clock rate of 2.6 GHz on the P cores. Meanwhile, the E cores still maintain a respectable 2.3 GHz. The temperatures are nothing to worry about overall and there is no thermal throttling during pure CPU stress. The CPU initially reaches the PL2 TDP limit and subsequently falls to the PL1 limit of 40 watts. This value can be maintained throughout the entirety of the stress test.

Energy Consumption

The Intel NUC 12 Pro Kit cannot be described as being extremely energy efficient. This is due to the somewhat high power consumption during idle. In this scenario, the 120-watt AC adapter has to provide at least 12 watts. Under load, this value increases to an average of 64 watts with temporary spikes to almost 99 watts when the Turbo is active. Thus, the AC adapter is sufficiently dimensioned. Surprisingly, the energy consumption during sleep mode (4.7 watts) and while switched off (1.6 watts) is relatively high.

Power Consumption

Off / Standby	1.66 / 4.73 Watt
Idle	12.1 / 12.2 / 12.3 Watt
Load	64 / 98.8 Watt

The Intel NUC 12 Pro Kit is more than capable of being an excellent office PC. It is based on the Intel Core i7-1260P, a fast SoC with 12 cores and 16 threads that is capable of running many applications simultaneously. The main advantage of the system is its compact form factor combined with the latest and greatest interfaces, which barely leave anything to be desired. Thunderbolt 4, which is available twofold, is by far the most interesting addition.

The price of around 700 USD is a half-truth when it comes to making a purchasing decision, since the barebone system includes neither RAM, an SSD nor a Windows license. That being said, offerings from other mini PC manufacturers are similar in their nature. Our modestly equipped test configuration includes 16 GB of RAM and a 512-GB SSD and performs very well. Subjectively, the system never felt slow during our testing period. Thanks to the good DPC latencies, the device is well suited to be a streaming client for the living room. An external GPU dock can also be connected in the event that more 3D performance is needed. While reviewing the system, we explored this option with the help of an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 Ti.

First and foremost, the Intel NUC 12 Pro Kit is a great office PC. However, with the appropriate accessories, the small system becomes capable of much more.

Visually, the Intel NUC 12 Pro Kit falls in line with other models from Intel's NUC series. The build quality is good, although the plastic-clad exterior may look somewhat cheap at first glance. Overall, the Intel NUC 12 Pro Kit makes no major missteps that would disqualify us from recommending the system. There are many competitors in the mini PC space. That being said, not many of them feature Thunderbolt support. The Ace Magician TK11-A0 is one of the exceptions. However, it is unable to match the CPU performance of the Intel NUC 12 Pro Kit.

Price and Availability

The Intel NUC 12 Pro Kit - Wall Street Canyon is currently available on various retailes such as Amazon for around 710 USD.
