During VMware Explore 2022 Barcelona, I’ve been given a gift as a vExpert.
We could start start popcorn party with NX6412 …
A huge shout out to the vExpert program and to Cohesity for supporting with such an amazing gift – a small but powerful quad-CPU Intel NUC. It’s fanless so it will be quiet too. Thank You
Based on small form factors, the compact design at 127mm x 127mm x 37mm makes it great for space-saving.
Intel Elkhart Lake J6412 Processor
Powered by Intel Elkhart Lake Celeron J6412 processor, the NX6412 provides you excellent performance with long life expectancies. The processor has 4cores 4threads, 1.5MB L2 Cache, up to 2.60GHz with a 10W TDP rate.
