Specs leak for upcoming entry-level Intel June Canyon NUC, supports two 4k displays at 60 Hz

Intel’s group of NUC (Next Unit of Computing) devices are an interesting category of ultra-small form factor devices that started with budget level processors in the Sandy Bridge series. In the last few generations, we have begun to see some truly powerful machines in the line-up, in particular, the Skull Canyon NUC with i7 CPU and now the newer Hades Canyon with AMD Vega graphics. But these are significantly more expensive than the Celeron and Pentium powered options which ushered the concept of the NUC into existence. 

An anonymous reader has sent us a link to a technical specification PDF stored on Intel’s website that is intended for vendors, system integrators, and engineers that shows the NUC7CJY and NUC7PJY, which are equipped with Celeron and Pentium CPUs respectively. The CPU and Wireless cards are soldered on, but the RAM and storage are upgradeable on the two models that come as barebones systems.

It is interesting to see that they come with 2 x HDMI 2.0a, showing that Intel is hoping these will be used for scenarios where an affordable and compact computer is needed for displaying content on TV screens. (Note: While both HDMI 2.0 ports are capable of 4k at 60 Hz, the spec sheets for the J4005 and J5005 don't specify whether they can handle a second 4k/60Hz monitor). Additionally, they are also plenty powerful enough for most general-use office computers and dumb-terminals, so the onboard graphics should handle the high-resolution output of office applications just fine.
