Intel NUC 13 Pro Kit - Vivid Canyon review: The last Intel NUC has a new case and a Core i7-1360P

NUC with a new case! The release of the Intel NUC 13 Pro Desk Edition Kit aka Vivid Canyon presumably marks Intel's last mini PC of the branch. Visually, Intel has given the finishing touch to the device by correcting most of its predecessor's points of critique. In this review, you can find out about what else Intel's final NUC based on the Intel Core i7-1360P has to offer.

The Intel NUC 13 Pro Desk Edition Kit is the direct successor to the Intel NUC 13 Pro Kit. Technically seen, both models are pretty similar, as the Intel NUC 13 Pro Desk Edition Kit which we are testing also features an Intel Core i7-1360P with 32 GB DDR4 RAM and a 512-GB SSD. Visually, lots has changed as Intel has now given its final NUC release a complete makeover. As already announced, Intel will not further market its NUC devices after this release.

This means we have in our hands what is presumably Intel's last mini PC from this range. For years now, these tiny computing geniuses have been known for delivering excellent performance while keeping emissions low. The boom of mini PCs within the past year has, of course, led to an influx of manufacturers bringing similar devices onto the market. We have previously tested quite a few of these. Its rivals (mostly being shipped in to us from the Far East) were oftentimes able to compete and at the same time, they sometimes turned out to be better value for money as well. In this review, the Intel NUC 13 Pro Desk Edition Kit will again have to compete with the devices from Minisforum, Geekom and Morefine. You can find a list of all of these devices in the following overview.

Case - Metal instead of plastic

Finally, Intel has dared to take the step of installing the hardware into a metal case. The old plastic one can now be left in the past. The new design feels modern, fresh and on every level it impresses - right down to how high-quality the device feels to touch. At the same time, nothing has changed about the PC's dimensions. With a size of 11.7 x 11.2 centimetres, the Intel NUC 13 Pro Desk Edition Kit still counts as one of the most compact mini PCs which can still offer extremely good performance levels.

Color-wise, Intel has been a little braver with the NUC 13 Pro Desk Edition Kit - it is now a combination of silver and white. The white part is on the front, which is also still made from a plastic covering. Even so, the total concept feels great and Intel has continued to deliver the perfect build quality which we are used to. Unfortunately, the Intel NUC 13 Pro Desk Edition Kit doesn't have a VESA mount.

Connectivity

Intel has stayed true to its connectivity options, giving the NUC 13 Pro Desk Edition Kit the same external ports as the Intel NUC 13 Pro Kit. These connections are spread out along the front and back of the device. In total, it features six USB ports of which two support Thunderbolt 4 - this can widen the PC's range of uses massively with the help of suitable accessories. Monitors can be directly connected via HMDI or Thunderbolt - plus, it also has a 2.5G network connection.

Communication

WLAN module
WLAN module

The Intel NUC 13 Pro Desk Edition Kit - Vivid Canyon is fitted with an in-house Wi-Fi 6E AX211 module. This also supports the 6-GHz frequency band. All devices delivered fast transmission rates in our WLAN test without any real errors. The same can be said for our test sample, although it fell a little behind during the 6 GHz frequency band measurements. We used our ASUS ROG Rapture GT-AXE11000 as a test router for this test.

Accessories

The scope of delivery is kept to just the bare minimum. Aside from the device itself, Intel has only included a 120-watt power supply.

Maintenance

Despite its new case design, the Intel NUC 13 Pro Desk Edition Kit continues to be super easy to open up. Just four screws hold on the bottom plate. After removing these, you can easily access the RAM and SSD. This is important, as the Intel NUC 13 Pro Desk Edition Kit is sold as a barebone system. Our test system is almost fully equipped, as you can see really well. Only one further storage device can be installed. You do have to pay attention to the connection, as aside from the already installed NVMe M.2 SSD, the second M.2 slot only supports M.2 SSDs with SATA speeds and up to a length of 42 millimetres.

Testing conditions

We performed all performance tests using the energy profile "Balanced". Alternative energy profiles were not available on our system. We did not change the SoC's performance and instead left it in auto mode according to the BIOS settings.

Processor

The PC's Intel Core i7-1360P is a very modern and frugal SoC from Intel's current Raptor Lake P series. The manufacturer hasn't limited the device's possible power consumption, meaning it has access to up to 64 watts for a short burst of time. This value was reached, although under continuous load, it only had access to 40 watts. In our test, we saw that this value was also kept to over a longer period of time.

The Intel NUC 13 Pro Desk Edition Kit mastered our test course with flying colors and it even managed to come slightly ahead of the Intel NUC 13 Pro Kit. Subjectively, there is no noticeable difference between how well both individual systems perform.

Intel NUC 13 Pro Desk Edition Kit - Arena Canyon vs. Cinebench R15 Multi Loop

The Cinebench R15 continuous loop gives us a first glance at how well the installed cooling unit works. The device's CPU performance already dropped by about 10 per cent after the first run. After the second run, the SoC showed relatively stable performance which achieved an average of 1,753 points after 50 runs. This is slightly less than we documented on the Intel NUC 13 Pro Kit.

System performance

During the synthetic benchmarks, the Intel NUC 13 Pro Desk Edition Kit's system performance couldn't quite keep up with its CPU performance results. Our test sample ended up only achieving average results and during PCMark10, it was about on the same level as the Intel NUC 12 Pro Kit and the Geekom Mini IT12. Crossmark didn't yield any better results. During the RAM tests, our test sample also had to admit defeat on many occasions. In order to properly shine, the NUC 13 Pro Desk Edition Kit should really have been fitted with faster DDR5 RAM. The manufacturer should also have done this so the PC could properly differentiate itself from the Intel NUC 13 Pro Kit. The Khadas Mind shows us what can be achieved with faster RAM.

Storage devices

512 GB NVMe SSD
512 GB NVMe SSD

Our test sample of the Intel NUC 13 Pro Desk Edition Kit is fitted with a 512-GB NVMe SSD from Samsung. An identical model could already be seen in the Intel NUC 13 Pro Kit. Due to the same storage device being used, we noted almost identical benchmark results when it came to performance. We only noted a difference when it came to read rates under continuous load. Here, the Intel NUC 13 Pro Kit generally delivered better performance, although the Intel NUC 13 Pro Desk Edition Kit never had any issues while keeping performance levels stable. The Intel NUC 13 Pro Desk Edition Kit can be fitted with two storage devices in total. It has to be noted that the second slot can only be fitted with an M.2 SSD 2242. In addition, this connection only supports SATA speeds, which you also have to keep in mind.

For further comparisons and benchmarks, take a look at our comparison table.

Graphics card

An Intel Iris Xe Graphics G7 with 96 EUs acts as the device's integrated graphics card. It is installed as part of the Intel Core i7-1360P within the SoC. Compared to the Intel NUC 13 Pro Kit, both iGPUs showed identical power delivery levels. Eveyn so, the Intel NUC 13 Pro Desk Edition Kit managed to come ever so slightly ahead. Intel unfortunately still can't keep up with AMD's current iGPUs. Depending on the scenario, the AMD Radeon 680M offers around 30 - 60 per cent more performance.

Further comparisons and benchmarks can be found in our GPU comparison table.

Gaming performance

The PC's iGPU is not meant to be used as a gaming solution. The measured performance of the Intel NUC 13 Pro Desk Edition Kit is slightly better than the Intel NUC 13 Pro Kit, but considerably worse than the Morefine M600. If you are looking for something that masters gaming, then you'd be better off taking a look at mini PCs which feature dedicated graphics cards. An example could be the Minisforum HX99GIntel's NUC 12 Serpent Canyon, with its Intel Arc A770M, also offers good gaming performance.

3D performance boost via an eGPU dock with an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 Ti

Maximum PCIx x4 3.0 via Thunderbolt
Maximum PCIx x4 3.0 via Thunderbolt

As the Intel NUC 13 Pro Desk Edition Kit is fitted with Thunderbolt ports, we can now take a look at its 3D performance with the help of our Razer Core X and the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 Ti. In practical use, this combination works well together. Although, the competition never did terribly in this test. Even so, you can tell during the gaming tests that this combination seems to yield better results when it comes to Intel SoCs. The Minisforum UM790 ProMinisforum UM690 and the Morefine M600 all had to make do with coming in behind.

Please note: 

Due to the bandwidth limitation of the Thunderbolt interface, you cannot expect to see the full performance of an external graphics card. In a conventional PC where the graphics card can communicate via all 16 PCIe lanes, performance levels are even better. Nevertheless, this test shows us that you can quickly and easily increase the 3D performance noticeably with the help of this accessory.

Emissions - Good performance and still frugal

Noise emissions

During our noise emission tests, the Intel NUC 13 Desk Edition Kit proved to be quite quiet in idle mode. It isn't possible to run the device completely silently. Under load, the fans have to spin quite a bit in order to move enough air. Under average load, we noted almost the highest value, namely 42 dB(A). At 42.1 dB(A), our test device was barely any louder during the stress test.

Temperature

In idle mode, the Intel NUC 13 Desk Edition Kit's case only heats up slightly. The installed cooler sucks in air via the sides and guides it out the back of the device, during which the components such as the RAM and SSD are cooled.

During the stress test with Prime95, we also took a look at the Intel Core i7-1360P's temperatures. Here, the SoC hit 100 °C right after the test was begun, meaning its performance isn't additionally throttled. During the further course of the stress test, CPU temperatures evened out at around 83 °C on average.

Power consumption

In general, lots of mini PCs are quite frugal when it comes to their energy intake. The Intel NUC 13 Desk Edition Kit isn't really any different. In idle mode, we documented only 7 - 11.8 watts, which is considerably lower than its competitors from Minisforum or Morefine. We noted a maximum of only 97.2 watts, which is considerably more frugal than the Intel NUC 13 Pro Kit. The supplied power adapter is compact and delivers up to 120 watts. At no point did we note the power supply being overloaded.

Then Intel NUC 13 Pro Desk Edition Kit is no complete reinvention, but even so, it is a considerably more attractive model in the NUC series from Intel. These devices have been calling for a metal case for a while now, but up until the Intel NUC 13 Pro Kit, Intel has stayed true to its old concept of a plastic case. Although, technically seen, there has been no advancement. Intel Raptor Lake-P continues to work under the bonnet and its DDR4 RAM is also one of the slower models which we already saw in the Intel NUC 13 Pro Kit. Intel really should've taken the step to install DDR5 RAM in order to deliver the best total package alongside the Intel Core i7-1360P.

The Intel NUC 13 Pro Desk Edition Kit is a visually spruced up Intel NUC, which unfortunately stagnates due to its performance. Its wide variety of positive features such as its great connectivity options remains the same.

During our test, the Intel NUC 13 Desk Edition Kit delivered outstanding performance. The SoC worked without any sort of TDP limitations, which isn't the case with every mini PC. Its biggest weakness is its iGPU when it comes to 3D performance. In turn, this is a general problem which all current Intel SoCs seem to have. Here, AMD with its current Ryzen SoCs has a big advantage. As the Intel NUC 13 Desk Edition Kit is a mini PC meant for office use, its gaming performance isn't a top priority. Even so, you can achieve this with the help of an external graphics card. Its good connectivity options make this possible. 

Visually, the Intel NUC 13 Pro Desk Edition Kit has changed a lot. We embrace this decision and in total, its design looks modern and it feels nice thanks to its metal surfaces. In terms of dimensions, the Intel PC has stayed true to the series, although it doesn't feature a VESA mount option. Its competitors' argument of scoring with a high-quality metal case now fails. This means it now has to be a combination of visuals and performance that justify purchasing this device. Its name proves to be a reason to buy into the brand too, as in the past, "Intel NUC" has always been synonymous with good mini PCs. In addition, many buyers still have their reservations when it comes to purchasing because many competitors are only available to buy in China. The PCs are only slowly finding arriving in overseas warehouses and will often only find their way to customers via sites like Amazon. This is different for Intel's NUC devices, because many well-known online stores have the devices for sale.

Price and availability

The Intel NUC 13 Pro Desk Edition Kit can be purchased as a barebone model from Amazon for US$719.
