Intel discontinues NUC mini PCs, shifts focus to external partners
Intel has announced that it will no longer produce its own Next Unit of Compute (NUC) mini PCs, instead opting to support partners in fostering the NUC PC market. The decision comes as Intel faces challenges in the computer market, with declining revenue and a struggling PC-oriented division. The NUC, initially launched in 2013, showcased the potential for compact desktops but faced competition from brands like Dell and Lenovo. Intel's move allows the company to focus on its core business of chip manufacturing.
