ASUS Launches 3-Liter ROG NUC 2025 Featuring Arrow Lake “Core Ultra 9” Processors & Up To NVIDIA RTX 5080 Graphics Cards

ASUS has officially unveiled its latest advancement in compact computing with the ROG NUC 2025 Mini-PC. This innovative model boasts impressive specifications powered by Arrow Lake CPUs and offers an option for NVIDIA’s RTX 5080 GPUs.

Introducing the ASUS ROG NUC 2025: Impressive Performance in a Compact Design

The ROG NUC 2025 represents a much-anticipated refresh of ASUS’s small form factor PC lineup for 2025. This model delivers exceptional performance in a mere 3-liter chassis. A key feature of this design is its advanced cooling system, which includes dual heatsinks and three efficient fans to maintain optimal temperature during demanding tasks.

At the heart of the ROG NUC 2025 lies the Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX Arrow Lake-HX CPU, featuring an impressive configuration of 24 cores (8 performance cores and 16 efficiency cores) and a maximum clock speed reaching 5.4 GHz. It also includes a significant 76 MB cache and supports turbo power of up to 160W. On the graphics front, the NVIDIA RTX 5080 GPU is the standout component, housing 7680 cores and equipped with 16 GB of cutting-edge GDDR7 memory, promising performance comparable to that of the RTX 5070 desktop graphics card. Interestingly, ASUS opted against using the higher-tier RTX 5090 GPU, likely due to the thermal limits inherent in this compact design.

This Mini-PC doesn’t stop at processing power; it supports up to 96 GB of high-speed DDR5-6400 memory, offering compatibility for up to four 4K displays. Connectivity options are cutting-edge as well, providing WIFI 7 and Bluetooth 5.4, as well as PCIe 5.0 M.2 SSD compatibility. The I/O configuration is robust, with four USB 3.2 ports, a 2.5GbE LAN port, a Thunderbolt 4 port, dual HDMI 2.1 ports located at the back, and three additional USB 3.2 ports on the front, supplemented by a combined microphone and headphone jack.

When it comes to pricing, the ASUS ROG NUC 2025 will be offered in two distinct configurations, differentiated largely by the storage capacity. The model featuring a 1 TB SSD is priced at 24, 399 RMB or approximately $3, 335, while the 2 TB version is available for 24, 999 RMB or around $3, 417. Both configurations are slated to hit the market later this month.
