Intel’s NUC Extreme line of computers tend to be compact, high-performance systems with the latest Intel mobile chips and support for discrete graphics. But this year’s NUC 12 Extreme is something a little different – it will have an LGA1700 socket with support for 12th-gen Intel Alder Lake desktop processors.

Code-named Dragon Canyon, the new Intel NUC 12 Extreme should be available in the first quarter of 2022.

Like many companies, Intel scaled back plans to attend this year’s Consumer Electronics Show in person, so instead of showing off the Dragon Canyon NUC in person, the company shared some details at the end of a CES 2022 Demo video.

Among other things, we can see that the system will feature:

  • Support for 65W Intel Core i7 or Core i9 socketed processors
  • Vapor Chamber & fan cooling
  • 3 x PXIe Gen 4 slots for M.2 2280 SSDs
  • 2 x DDR4-3200 SODIMM slots for up to 64GB of RAM
  • Thunderbolt 4
  • 10 Gbe Ethernet
  • USB 32 Gen 2
  • HDMI
  • Front panel with customizable LED lighting

There’s also a a slot in the baseboard for an optional discrete graphics card. According to a report from last fall from Inpact Hardware, it’s expected to be a PCIe 5.0 x16 slot.

We first learned that Intel was likely planning to use a socketed CPU for this year’s NUC Extreme via a leaked photo posted earlier this month, but now Intel has confirmed that the leak was accurate.

Since the CPU is socketed, users will likely be able to upgrade or replace the processor, but the marketing materials suggest that Intel expects most users to opt for a Core i7-12700 or Core i9-12900 processor. Both are 65-watt processors, with the former featuring 12 CPU cores, 20 threads, and top speeds up to 4.9 GHz, while the latter is a 16-core, 24-thread processor capable of hitting frequencies as high as 5.1 GHz.

Welcome to Edition 4.27 of the Rocket Report! And after two weeks away, the Rocket Report is back. I'd like to say I'm tanned, rested, and ready, but hey, one out of three isn't bad. Anyway, there's a ton of news to report after the holiday hiatus, so let's jump right into it.

As always, we welcome reader submissions, and if you don't want to miss an issue, please subscribe using the box below (the form will not appear on AMP-enabled versions of the site). Each report will include information on small-, medium-, and heavy-lift rockets as well as a quick look ahead at the next three launches on the calendar.

Ukrainian investor asked to divest from Firefly. The US government has requested that Max Polyakov, a wealthy Ukrainian tech entrepreneur, sell his stake in the rocket company Firefly Aerospace Inc., Bloomberg reports. The military cited national security concerns in making the request. Polyakov backed Firefly with $200 million in 2017 after the company declared bankruptcy and is credited with turning the company around. Polyakov had already stepped back from the company's board of directors a year ago
