The Asus NUC 14 Pro Plus follows a Mini-ITX form factor, with dimensions of 144 mm wide, 112 mm thick, and 41 mm tall, resulting in a total volume of 661.248 cm³. Storage is handled by a 1000GB NVMe SSD, offering fast flash-based storage in a compact footprint suited to the machine's small chassis.
The CPU operates with a 45W TDP and a hybrid core configuration of six cores at 2.3 GHz and eight cores at 1.8 GHz, capable of reaching a turbo frequency of 5.1 GHz across 22 threads with multithreading support. It carries 24 MB of L3 cache, a clock multiplier of 39, and a maximum rated temperature of 110 °C. The processor supports 64-bit computing and includes integrated graphics, though the clock multiplier is locked. It also features an NX bit for hardware-level security.
The GPU has a base clock of 300 MHz and a turbo clock of 2350 MHz, built on a 7 nm semiconductor process with 1024 shading units, 64 texture mapping units, and 32 render output units. It connects via PCIe 5 and supports up to 4 simultaneous displays. API compatibility covers DirectX 12, OpenGL 4.6, and OpenCL 3, making it capable of handling a broad range of general-purpose and graphics workloads.
The system is equipped with 32GB of DDR5 RAM running at a speed of 5600 MHz, providing a solid foundation for memory-intensive tasks within this compact form factor.
Wireless connectivity covers Wi-Fi 6E (802.11ax) along with backward-compatible Wi-Fi 6, 5, and 4 standards, paired with Bluetooth 5.3. On the wired side, the unit provides two USB 4 40Gbps ports and two Thunderbolt 4 ports, complemented by one USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A port and one USB 2.0 port; there are no USB 3.2 Gen 1, USB 3.2 Gen 2x2, or USB 4 20Gbps ports. Display outputs include two HDMI 2.1 ports and one DisplayPort 1.4 output, while VGA and S/PDIF are not present. A single RJ45 port handles wired networking, and a 3.5mm audio jack is also included.
In benchmark testing, the system achieves a PassMark multi-threaded score of 29,380 alongside a single-threaded score of 3,697. Geekbench 6 results come in at 11,950 for multi-core and 2,235 for single-core performance.
The CPU is a laptop-class processor using a BGA 2049 socket and employs big.LITTLE technology for its core configuration, with support for instruction sets including MMX, F16C, FMA3, AES, AVX, AVX2, SSE 4.1, and SSE 4.2, as well as an NX bit for execution protection. Memory can be expanded to a maximum of 96GB across two channels, with RAM speeds reaching up to 7467 MHz, though ECC memory is not supported. Storage relies on flash-based media, and the integrated GPU is identified as the Arc Graphics 128EU with 8 execution units.
