ASUS NUC 16 Pro Overview

Empower your productivity with AI by customizing the ASUS NUC 16 Barebone Computer Kit to fit your needs. To get you started, inside the compact chassis is an Intel Core Ultra 5 325 8-Core Series 3 processor with integrated graphics and an NPU that accelerates AI workloads.

The two DDR5 slots support up to 128GB of 7200 MHz CSO-DIMMs. For storage, you have an M.2 2280 PCIe 5.0 slot alongside an M.2 PCIe 4.0 2280 slot. This system also includes built-in Wi-Fi 7 support and dual 2.5G Ethernet ports for high-speed internet access. Dual Thunderbolt 4 ports, along with a total of one USB-C and four USB-A 3.2 Gen 2 ports allow you to quickly transfer large videos, photos, and other files. This kit is Windows 11 OS ready.

Performance
The Intel Core Ultra 5 325 processor powers applications with four Performance cores while four low-power E-cores handle background tasks. The Performance cores have a base speed of 2.1 GHz with a 4.5 GHz Max Turbo Boost 3.0 frequency. An integrated NPU, capable of handling 47 trillion operations per second (TOPS), accelerates AI workloads. Integrated Intel Graphics deliver rich visuals.
Enable Smarter AI Assistant
This mini PC supports next-generation agentic AI applications such as OpenClaw, enabling AI assistants to automate everyday tasks, including content creation, file organization, and cross-platform workflow coordination.
High-Speed USB
The front panel includes one USB-C and two USB-A 3.2 Gen 2 ports for up to 10 Gb/s devices. The rear panel includes two 40 Gb/s Thunderbolt 4 ports and two USB-A 3.2 Gen 2 ports.
Thunderbolt 4
Thunderbolt 4 is a hardware interface that utilizes the reversible USB-C connector and features a maximum throughput of 40 Gb/s when used with compatible devices. The connector also transmits data via USB4 at up to 20 Gb/s, and dual-bandwidth DisplayPort allows you to connect either one 8K monitor or up to two 4K displays simultaneously. Additionally, you can daisy chain up to six devices from a single Thunderbolt 4 port.
Multi-Monitor Support
Enhance your multi-tasking by connecting compatible displays to the two HDMI 2.1 and dual Thunderbolt 4 ports.
Network Connectivity
Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) support provides access to the less congested 6 GHz band with compatible wireless networks while enhancing reliability with signal optimization technologies. The dual 2.5G Ethernet ports provide fast and reliable wired internet connections.
Advanced Cooling Design
Dual-exhaust CPU fans, three heat pipes, and fin arrays on both sides ensure rapid, more efficient heat dissipation and quiet operation.
Flexible Mounting
Place this desktop system almost anywhere with included VESA mounting bracket, including on a wall or under a desk. You can also attach it to a monitor for an AIO computing experience. ASUS Power Sync allows you to simultaneously control the power for the NUC and compatible monitor.
