Intel unleashes Beast Canyon NUC 11 Extreme gaming desktop kit

Intel's Next Unit of Computing (NUC) platform has been around long enough that it's probably lost its "next" status, but that doesn't stop the company from continuing to churn out new versions as its Core processors get refreshed. With each new iteration of the NUC, we can expect an NUC Extreme version, designed for gamers and other high-performance PC users, housed in a compact case with a skull logo etched on it, and code-named with a scary-sounding Canyon-based moniker.
