Last week Intel announced that it would no longer be investing in NUC products leaving the product line to other manufacturers to continue. Today Intel has agreed to a term sheet with ASUS to manufacture, sell and support the future of NUC systems.
In a press release, Intel revealed the plans for how the NUC product line will continue following their departure from Investment into the platform. The company has made an agreement with ASUS which will provide them with a non-exclusive license to Intel’s NUC systems product line designs which will enable them to produce and sell 10th to 13th Gen NUC systems as well as develop future designs. For this agreement, ASUS will establish a new business unit called ASUS NUC BU to provide support for NUC.
This is good news for the NUC platform with a reputable and mostly well-regarded company taking on the future endeavours of the platform.
Intel:
“Our NUC systems product team delivered unique products that spurred innovation in the ultra-small form factor market. As we pivot our strategy to enable ecosystem partners to continue NUC systems product innovation and growth, our priority is to ensure a smooth transition for our customers and partners. I am looking forward to ASUS continuing to deliver exceptional products and supporting our NUC systems customers.” – Sam Gao Intel vice president and general manager of Intel Client Platform Solutions
ASUS:
“Thank you, Intel, for your confidence in us to take the NUC systems product line forward. I am confident that this collaboration will enhance and accelerate our vision for the mini PC – greatly expanding our footprint in areas such as AI and AIoT,” said Joe Hsieh, ASUS chief operating officer. “We are committed to ensuring the excellent support and service that NUC systems customers expect.”
