The next big thing in video content is certainly 4K/UHD and it does not come as a surprise that Intel is preparing a new next-gen NUC that will be able to handle 4K video content, the Intel NUC5i7RYH.

Spotted by FanlessTech site, the Intel NUC5i7RYH is based on an Intel Core i7-5557U CPU with integrated Iris 6100 graphics. It will be able to accelerate 4K/UHD video, do 1080p to 4K/UHD upscaling and even pack enough punch to offer 720p gaming at reasonable detail settings, all thanks to integrated Iris 6100 graphics.

The Intel Iris 6100 graphics part is based on Broadwell-GT design and packs 48 execution units (EUs) and works between 300 and 1100MHz for the GPU frequency. The Core i7-5557U, in case you missed it earlier, is a dual-core part based on Intel's 14nm Broadwell architecture. It has support for Intel Hyper-Threading technology, packs 512KB of L2 and 4MB of L3 shared cache, has 28W TDP and supports DDR3-1866 memory, in case of the NUC5i7RYH, up to 16GB of dual-channel DDR3L-1866 SODIMM memory.

The rest of the specifications and features include one HDMI 1.4a and one mini Displayport output, four USB 3.0 ports, Intel Gigabit Ethernet and 802.11ac WiFi and support for internal M.2 SSD card and single SATA 6Gbps port for 2.5-inch HDD/SSD.

While 28W TDP might be a bit too much for such a small case, we are sure that it should work well, especially considering that it will be 4K/UHD capable.

Unfortunately, there is no word on precise availability date or the price.
