ASUS NUC 16 PRO Intel Ultra X9 378H/ LPDDR5x 32GB/ 1TB/ Win 11 Pro

ASUS NUC 16 Pro Intel Core Ultra X9 378H / LPDDR5x 32GB / 1TB SSD / Windows 11 Pro (RNUC16GDKW96C4N3) - 3 Years Onsite Local Warranty

Core Ultra X9 Performance in the NUC 16 Pro, 32GB Configuration

The ASUS NUC 16 PRO RNUC16GDKW96C4N3 is a complete Windows 11 Pro mini PC built on Intel's Core Ultra X-series platform: the Intel Core Ultra X9 Processor 378H, 32GB of LPDDR5x memory and a 1TB NVMe SSD are already fitted, so it is ready to sign in as soon as a monitor, keyboard and mouse are connected. It uses the same chassis, ports and Intel Arc B390 graphics as the Core Ultra X9 388H configuration.

Intel Core Ultra X9 378H with Intel Arc B390 Graphics

Intel lists the Core Ultra X9 378H with 16 cores (4 Performance-cores, 8 Efficient-cores and 4 Low Power Efficient-cores), 16 threads, a maximum turbo frequency of 5.0 GHz and 18MB of Intel Smart Cache. ASUS runs it at a configurable TDP of 65W in the NUC 16 Pro chassis. Graphics is the integrated Intel Arc B390 GPU with 12 Xe-cores at up to 2.5 GHz, a large step up from the Intel Graphics on the Core Ultra 5 325 and Core Ultra 7 356H configurations in the same range.

How the X9 378H Compares with the X9 388H

Both X9 processors share the core layout and the Arc B390 GPU. The 388H turbos slightly higher (up to 5.1 GHz against 5.0 GHz on the 378H) and is the vPro-capable part; Intel lists Intel Active Management Technology (AMT) as not supported on the 378H. For a business that does not manage its fleet through AMT out-of-band tools, the 378H delivers very similar everyday performance.

32GB Soldered LPDDR5x - Faster, but Fixed

Memory is 32GB of LPDDR5x rated up to 9600 MT/s, soldered directly to the board rather than fitted as removable modules. High-bandwidth LPDDR5x matters to an integrated GPU like the Arc B390, which draws all of its bandwidth from system memory, but the capacity is set at the factory and cannot be upgraded later. If you need 64GB on this processor, the RNUC16GDKW96D003 barebone pairs the X9 378H with 64GB LPDDR5x (storage and OS not included).

1TB NVMe SSD and a Second M.2 Slot

Storage is a 1TB M.2 NVMe PCIe 4.0 SSD. The board provides two M.2 2280 NVMe slots - one PCIe Gen5 x4 and one PCIe Gen4 x4, each supporting drives from 128GB to 8TB - so capacity can be added later through the tool-less chassis.

Dual Thunderbolt 4, Dual HDMI 2.1, Dual 2.5G LAN

Rear I/O includes two Thunderbolt 4 Type-C ports with DisplayPort 2.1, two HDMI 2.1 ports, two USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports and two RJ45 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet ports (dual Intel I226-V). The front adds one USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C and two USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports. Wireless is Intel Wi-Fi 7 (BE211) with Bluetooth 6.0, and ASUS rates the system for up to four 4K displays. There is no analogue audio jack; audio is carried digitally over HDMI, DisplayPort and USB-C.

Compact, Tool-less and Business-Ready

The chassis measures 144 x 117 x 42 mm and weighs 0.75 kg per ASUS, with a tool-less design for service access, a VESA bracket in the box for mounting behind a monitor, a Kensington lock slot and built-in firmware TPM 2.0. Every configuration in the NUC 16 Pro range shares the same external chassis, ports and VESA mounting.

Supplied Locally, with GST Invoice and Singapore Onsite Warranty

SourceIT supplies the ASUS NUC 16 PRO RNUC16GDKW96C4N3 with a full GST invoice and local Singapore support. This unit carries a 3-year onsite warranty, so a qualifying hardware fault is resolved at your premises rather than through a courier round trip.
