Compact AI workstation for enterprise developers
The ASUS NUC 16 Pro is a barebone mini PC measuring 144mm x 117mm x 42mm, built for teams that need AI-accelerated compute in a space-saving chassis. It ships with 16GB DDR5 7200 MT/s memory and a 512GB PCIe 5.0 SSD already installed. The toolless design allows quick access for future upgrades.
57 TOPS NPU for on-device AI workloads
The Intel Core Ultra 7 356H processor combines 16 cores with a dedicated AI Boost NPU rated at 57 AI computing TOPS and Intel Xe3 graphics. This makes the unit suitable for machine-learning inference, data analysis and other AI development tasks that benefit from local acceleration. Maximum turbo frequency reaches 4.7GHz.
Dual 2.5G LAN and Thunderbolt 4 expand I/O
Two 2.5G Ethernet ports, Wi-Fi 7 BE211 and Bluetooth 6.0 provide high-speed wired and wireless networking. Dual Thunderbolt 4 Type-C ports with DisplayPort 2.1 support up to four external displays and fast peripheral connections. Firmware TPM 2.0 and MIL-STD 810H certification address enterprise security and durability requirements.
