Jean Canyon NUC 15 Performance: a powerful gaming mini-PC

SimplyNUC has unveiled the Jean Canyon NUC 15 Performance, a new gaming mini-PC that packs desktop-level power into a compact chassis. This tiny system features Intel's powerful Core Ultra 9 275HX processor and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 laptop GPU with 8GB of VRAM, making it suitable for both gaming and demanding workloads.

What really stands out is the impressive memory capacity. The mini-PC can be configured with up to 96GB of DDR5 RAM—a rarity in compact computers. This setup is ideal for multitasking, 3D graphics work, video editing, and large creative projects. For storage, it offers two M.2 slots supporting PCIe 5.0 and PCIe 4.0, with total capacity reaching up to 8TB.

Despite its small three-liter footprint, the Jean Canyon NUC 15 comes equipped with a comprehensive selection of ports: multiple USB-A, Thunderbolt 4/USB4 Type-C, HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 2.1, 2.5 Gb Ethernet, plus Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4 support. All this makes it a fully capable workstation in a tiny package.

Pricing for the Jean Canyon NUC 15 Performance hasn't been announced yet, but the base configuration includes 16GB of memory and a 256GB SSD. Even this entry-level version looks impressive, while higher-end options with 96GB of RAM promise to be true performance beasts—though likely at a premium.
