The Asus NUC 15 Pro Plus follows a Mini-ITX form factor, measuring 144 mm wide, 112 mm thick, and 42 mm tall, which results in a total volume of 677.376 cm³ and a light 600 g weight. Storage is handled by a 2000GB NVMe SSD, offering fast flash-based storage in a drive format well-suited to compact builds like this one.
The processor runs a hybrid core configuration of six cores at 2.2 GHz and eight cores at 1.7 GHz, with a turbo clock speed reaching 5.3 GHz and a total of 16 threads, though it does not use simultaneous multithreading. It operates within a 28W TDP envelope and supports a maximum junction temperature of 110 °C, with a fixed clock multiplier of 22 and no unlocked multiplier. The CPU supports 64-bit processing and includes integrated graphics, rounding out a feature set oriented toward efficient, compact deployments.
The integrated GPU has a base clock of 300 MHz and a turbo frequency of 2300 MHz, built on a 3 nm semiconductor process with 1024 shading units, 64 texture mapping units, and 32 render output units. It connects via PCIe 5 and can drive up to 4 simultaneous displays. API support covers DirectX 12 Ultimate, OpenGL 4.6, and OpenCL 3, providing a broad range of compatibility for general computing and display workloads.
The Asus NUC 15 Pro Plus is equipped with 96GB of DDR5 RAM running at 6400 MHz, placing it at the higher end of memory capacity for a Mini PC of this class. DDR5 at this speed offers substantial memory bandwidth suited to demanding multitasking and data-intensive workloads.
Wireless connectivity covers Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) along with Wi-Fi 6E, Wi-Fi 6, Wi-Fi 5, and Wi-Fi 4, paired with Bluetooth 5.4 for short-range peripherals. The wired port selection is extensive: six USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports, two USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C ports, one USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port, two USB 4 40Gbps ports, two USB 2.0 ports, and two Thunderbolt 4 ports, while USB 3.2 Gen 1 and USB 4 20Gbps ports are absent. Display output is handled by two HDMI 2.1 ports and two DisplayPort outputs, and a single RJ45 port provides wired networking. Audio connectivity includes a 3.5 mm headset jack, though there is no VGA connector or S/PDIF output.
In PassMark testing, the Asus NUC 15 Pro Plus achieves a multi-threaded score of 34067, reflecting the combined throughput of its hybrid core configuration, while the single-threaded result of 4432 indicates the per-core performance ceiling of the processor.
The CPU is a laptop-class processor using a BGA 2049 socket and employs big.LITTLE technology for its hybrid core layout, with support for instruction sets including MMX, F16C, FMA3, AES, AVX, AVX2, SSE 4.1, and SSE 4.2, as well as NX bit for hardware-level execution protection. Memory tops out at 96GB across two channels, with a maximum supported RAM speed of 8400 MHz, though ECC memory is not supported and there is no external memory slot. The integrated Arc 40T GPU carries 128 execution units, and the system uses flash-based storage throughout.
