Ready-to-assemble mini PC

The ASUS NUC 15 Pro RNUC15CRKU50000U is a barebone system built around an Intel Core Ultra 5 225H processor with 14 cores and integrated Arc 130T graphics. It ships without memory or storage, so integrators and IT teams can choose DDR5 SO-DIMM modules and NVMe drives that match their workload. The slim black chassis measures 0.48 litres and includes a US power cord.

DDR5 dual-channel limits

Two 262-pin SO-DIMM slots accept DDR5-5600 or CSO-DIMM DDR5-6400 modules up to a combined 96 GB. Bandwidth scales with matched pairs; single-module configurations run in single-channel mode and reduce throughput. Memory is not included, so buyers must source compatible sticks before the system will boot.

Single M.2 2280 slot

One M.2 2280 PCIe Gen 5-ready slot and one M.2 2242 PCIe Gen 4 slot provide the only internal NVMe storage options. No 2.5-inch bay or additional M.2 connectors are present, so capacity is capped at two drives and expansion requires external enclosures. The 2280 slot supports the fastest available client SSDs.

Questions about this item

Should I choose DDR5-5600 SO-DIMM or DDR5-6400 CSO-DIMM for the two 262-pin slots?

Both fit the two SO-DIMM slots and run in dual-channel up to 96 GB total; CSO-DIMM at 6400 MHz gives higher bandwidth if your workload benefits from it.

What does the Arc 130T GPU’s 63 TOPS mean for everyday workloads?

The 63 TOPS (Int8) rating reflects AI inference throughput; in practice it accelerates OpenVINO, WindowsML and ONNX Runtime tasks such as local LLMs, video upscaling and inference plugins.

How fast is the M.2 2280 slot that is PCIe 5.0 ready?

The 2280 slot is wired for PCIe Gen 5 x4 NVMe, while the 2242 slot runs at PCIe Gen 4 x4; actual throughput depends on the drive you install.
