Intel Core Ultra 5 125H barebone
The NUC14RVKU5 is a slim mini-PC barebone built around the Intel Core Ultra 5 125H processor with 14 cores, 18 threads and a 4.50GHz maximum turbo frequency. It integrates Intel Arc graphics running at 2.2GHz and an on-package NPU for AI workloads such as video-conference enhancement. The chassis measures 117 x 112 x 37mm and includes a 120W 19V power adapter.
DIY builders adding their own memory and storage
The unit ships without RAM or an SSD, so it suits integrators who want to populate two SO-DIMM slots with DDR5-5600 modules up to 96GB total and fill one M.2 2280 Gen4x4 slot plus one M.2 2242 x4 slot with NVMe drives. Buyers needing a ready-to-run system with an operating system, memory or storage pre-installed should look at a configured model.
DDR5-5600 SO-DIMM support up to 96GB
Memory capacity and speed are fixed by the platform: two slots accept DDR5-5600 SO-DIMMs with a 96GB ceiling. Selecting faster modules, older DDR generations or capacities above 48GB per slot will not work. Verify module specifications before purchase.
