0

Configuration overview

The configuration of this Intel NUC 13 PRO is based on an Intel Raptor Lake platform. The CPU used (I7-1360P) is a low power version at 28W with a boost to 64W, perfect for this format.

The different components

We start with the CPU, the motherboard and the RAM, here on CPU-Z, we can see that the Prestige 13 Evo is equipped with an I7-1360P with 4 Pcore and 8 Ecore that can go up to 5Ghz. For the RAM, we are on 32 GB of DDR4 memory at 3200 Mt/s CL22.

Let’s move on to the graphics card. Here we are on the IGP integrated in the i7-1360P with the Xe 96sp iris (768 cores) that can go up to 1.5 Ghz.

For storage, we have a Samsung PCIe 4.0 x4 of 512TB. This one offers very good performances, especially in access time and reading speed.

And here is a summary of the specifications of this Intel NUC 13 PRO.

Disassembly, repair and upgrade

Disassembly is done in two ways, the first one by removing the 4 screws on the back of the device giving access to the changeable components. To remove the motherboard, you will also need to remove the 2 screws on the motherboard and unplug the Wi-Fi card. The top of the device can also be removed without tools.

From a modification point of view, we have access to the M.2 PCie 4.0 slot as well as the M.2 2242 Key B slot to increase storage. We also have access to the Wi-Fi card placed under the M.2 2280 PCIe slot and to two so-dimm DDR4 slots. We will see later that it is also possible to change the thermal paste easily.
