ASUS Announces Partnership with Intel for NUC Product Lines

ASUS has successfully completed the official signing ceremony with Intel Corporation, marking the handover of the Intel Next Unit of Computing (NUC) product lines. ASUS will now manufacture and sell Intel NUC 10th to 13th generation systems product lines, and will develop future NUC systems. Intel NUC solutions are small-form-factor devices or compute elements that are customizable and ideal for business, edge computing, and gaming environments.

A Smooth Transition

Following the official handover from Intel, ASUS kicked-off its NUC business and started taking orders for NUC 10th to 13th generation systems on September 1. The transition has progressed smoothly for NUC customers, generating a wide variety of exciting opportunities for the company. The vision of the newly established ASUS NUC BU is to provide the most impactful edge computing with comprehensive commercial and AIoT solutions that can sustain the industry and businesses. "I am confident that this collaboration will enhance and accelerate our vision for the mini PC," said Jackie Hsu, ASUS SVP and co-Head of OP & AIoT business groups, at the signing ceremony. "Adding the Intel NUC product line to our portfolio will extend ASUS' AI and IoT R&D capabilities and technology solutions, especially in three key markets - industrial, commercial, and prosumer."

Jackie also welcomed members of the Intel NUC unit who have joined the ASUS NUC business unit and who will help greatly enhance the R&D capabilities of ASUS, especially in terms of software and cloud computing.

ASUS has licensed both hardware system designs and software from Intel. The new ASUS NUC business will help further expand capabilities in the areas of R&D, logistics, and tech support, and will cover use cases for professional and AI programmers, governments, enterprises, small and medium-sized businesses as well as edge computing and industrial applications.

Looking Ahead

ASUS will continue to develop NUC products and plans to grow its channel network to meet demand. ASUS NUC solutions will be designed to meet industrial-grade standards and will offer cutting-edge cybersecurity to support all kinds of businesses. Future use cases for ASUS NUC include Asset & Operations Optimization, Human Wellness Monitoring, Logistics & Tracking, and Product Inspection, as well as many other applications. Additionally, aligning with the ASUS core value of sustainability, ASUS NUC will continue to offer energy-efficient products that come with world-class green certificates.

ASUS continuously endeavors to build long-term business relationships by connecting and servicing its customers with the principle of co-winning in mind. The company has made it a priority to ensure a smooth transition for NUC customers and is committed to providing them with the best possible service in the future.
