Ready-to-run Mini PC
The ASUS NUC 16 Pro NUC16GDKU5 arrives as a fully assembled mini computer with an Intel Core Ultra 5 325 processor, 64 GB of DDR5-7200 memory and a 2 TB PCIe 5.0 SSD already installed. Its 16-core hybrid architecture reaches 4.5 GHz and integrates a 57 TOPS NPU for local AI inference. The 144 × 117 × 42 mm chassis uses a dual-fan cooler and a toolless cover for quick internal access.
Suits embedded and edge deployments
IT teams who need vPro-grade manageability, dual 2.5 GbE LAN, Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6.0 in a fan-cooled box will fit this unit into kiosks, digital-signage players or secure office desktops. Buyers who require discrete graphics, additional 2.5 GbE ports beyond the two provided, or a larger storage bay should look at a different form factor.
Deciding spec — 57 TOPS NPU
The on-package neural engine delivers 57 trillion operations per second, enabling real-time inference for computer-vision, language and analytics workloads without a separate accelerator. If the target application does not need integrated AI compute, a simpler platform may be more cost-effective.

Questions about this item
Will the dual 2.5G LAN ports work with my existing Gigabit switch?
Yes, the 2.5G ports are backwards compatible and will negotiate a 1 Gbps link with your current switch without any configuration.
How can I confirm the Intel Core Ultra 5 325 processor and its NPU are active after setup?
Open Windows Task Manager and select the Performance tab; the CPU graph will show 16 logical processors and a dedicated NPU section reporting up to 57 TOPS of AI compute.
Does the box include the 64 GB DDR5 memory and 2 TB SSD, or must I buy them separately?
The unit ships with 64 GB of DDR5 7200 MT/s RAM and a 2 TB PCIe 5.0 SSD already installed, so no additional memory or storage purchase is required.
