On the heels of last week’s announcement that it is discontinuing its NUC product line, Intel this week revealed that it has agreed to a term sheet with ASUS to manufacture, sell, and support the Intel Next Unit of Compute (NUC) 10th to 13th generations systems product line.
Under the proposed agreement, ASUS will receive a non-exclusive license to Intel’s NUC systems designs, enabling it to manufacture and sell the products and to develop future designs, and providing product and support continuity for Intel NUC systems customers. ASUS will establish a new business unit called ASUS NUC BU.
“ASUS will continue all the current Intel NUC product lines, including the NUC Element U, and will not make any changes to the NUC products or ASUS Mini PC products at this time,” ASUS said in a statement.
