  • 👉Once upon a time, there was a computer with the power of both Intel and AMD combined into a compact mini PC. Intel’s Hades Canyon, which was part of their gaming focused enthusiast line of NUCs or next unit of computing hardware featured an Intel processor paired with an AMD GPU. Let's explore together how Intel's Hades Canyon NUC performs six years later in 2024 and check out some new release PC games as well as current emulation.

      Dont have one yet but I am still looking to get one for my collection once prices get even lower. I have a Skull Canyon and my new daily driver is a Serpent Canyon, but I love these things so much I still want a Hades and Phantom. Eventually I also want to get an ROG NUC since it is in reality the NUC14 Enthusiast Scorpion Canyon.

    I have an OEM version of this PC - I use it with Linux as at some point general Windows driver support stopped and only the official Intel Hades NUC model remained supported despite the OEM variant being the same hardware. It's possible to patch the Windows drivers (manufacturer ID) to work on the OEM device but it's such a hassle. For driver support both Intel and AMD point to the responsibility of the OEM to provide compatible drivers.
    It's a nice system still. I am using Pop!OS and Batocera on mine.

    It was a surprise to me to see that Intel put a TPM 2.0 module in these so it will install W11 when W10 support ends next fall. Ghost Canyon does not have the TPM unless you bought the business edition or the Xeon one. I use the HVK version at work as a personal desktop that is easy to store when I am off, and it has been a great machine for my usage. When I am on the midnight shift and have time for gaming, I use it for Elder Scrolls Online (100fps at high settings) and as a media device.

    Man it sucks that there wasn't a new iteration on this.
    Now obviously we have amd's apu's with the 780m, but they're still basically about as powerful as a gtx 1060 graphically, from 8 years ago.
    I mean yes, it's impressive. But I wanna see more. The 780m has been in way too many handhelds and mini pc's, and I just wanna see a more powerful Apu, even if it's more power hungry. Maybe the new strix halo is gonna change that.
    On a side note. I'm gonna try cruise n blast. It looks like a fun arcade racer (my favourite being burnout revenge)

      What is more powerful: this nuc or amd780?

    • @AJ-jq3hm
      @AJ-jq3hm 25 วันที่ผ่านมา

      @@illeskov the 780m is faster of course. But keep in mind there's like a 6 year gap between the two.
      At low settings in cyberpunk, we are getting about 25-35 fps here .
      At same settings with 780m it would be 50+.
      So there is a noticeable difference, but I feel if amd and Intel had done more iterations on this NUC then 6 years later we would have something much more powerful.
