This is the first PC in the NUC lineup to be powered by Intel's latest next-generation [Arc Graphics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/intel-arc-driver). This particular NUC is powered by an Intel [Core i7-12700H](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/liquid-cooled-gaming-laptop) with 14 cores and 20 threads running at a maximum turbo clock of 4.7 Ghz. The graphics card is the most notable aspect of this computer, though, as it features an Intel Arc A770M GPU, making this one of the first-ever PCs to feature a mobile Intel discrete graphics card. This GPU is equipped with 16GB of GDDR6 VRAM, meaning it has enough memory for most computing tasks, especially when combined with the maximum 64GB of DDR4 memory orderable with the computer.
