Description
Coming soon: the ASRock Industrial Core Ultra 3 (Wildcat Lake) NUC Series, delivering next-generation Intel Core Ultra 3 performance for advanced industrial and edge computing applications.
The ASRock Industrial NUC-304/320 series is a compact, high-performance NUC-style single board computer range designed for advanced edge computing, industrial automation, and high-resolution multi-display applications. Based on Intel Core Ultra Series 3 processors, the range includes two models: the NUC-320 powered by the Core™ 5 320 (2P + 4LPE) processor for higher performance workloads, and the NUC-304 powered by the Core™ 3 304 (1P + 4LPE) processor for efficient, low-power embedded applications. Both models deliver strong computing capability in a compact form factor, supporting demanding workloads such as AI inference, machine control, and digital signage. With dual DDR5 SO-DIMM slots supporting up to 128GB of high-speed memory, the platform is well suited for memory-intensive and multitasking environments.
Designed for flexible integration, the series includes extensive expansion options such as dual M.2 Key M slots for high-speed storage, an M.2 Key E slot for wireless connectivity, and a wide range of I/O including USB4/Thunderbolt 4, USB 3.2 Gen2, USB 2.0, and COM support. Quad-display capability with HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 2.1/1.4a outputs enables advanced visualisation and multi-screen control applications. With dual Intel 2.5GbE LAN, enterprise-grade security features including Intel vPro and PTT, VMD RAID support, and a wide 12V~24V DC input range, the NUC-304/320 series is built for reliable deployment in industrial, commercial, and regulated environments.
