Intel’s New Dragon Canyon NUC 12 Extreme Is powered by an Alderlake 12th gen socketed CPU and Has all the power you need in a Mini PC! In this video, we take a look at the Intel NUC 12 Extreme also known as The i9 Dragon Canyon NUC and this version uses the Intel i9 12900 CPU with 16 Cores and 24 Threads! It's insane how much power they packed into the small form factor pc. It comes as a baritone kit so I added 16GB of DDR4 ram and a Zotac RTX 3070 GPU. It runs everything at 4K from Forza Horizon 5, Doom Eternal, and even the new PC port of God Of War. We even test out some high-end Emulators like Gamecube at 5K using the dolphin emulator, Original Xbox emulation using CXBX reloaded, Xbox 360 using the dines emulator, and PS3 at 4K 60FPS with RPCS3.
