The barebone kits consist of the board, in a plastic case with a fan, an external power supply, and a VESA mounting plate.

The NUC motherboard usually measures approximately 4 × 4 inches (10 × 10 cm), although some models have had different dimensions. The NUC has developed over ten generations, spanning from Sandy Bridge-based Celeron CPUs in the first generation through Ivy Bridge-based Core i3 and i5 CPUs in the second generation to Gemini Lake-based Pentium and Celeron CPUs and Kaby Lake-based Core i3, i5, and i7 CPUs in the seventh and eighth generations. It was previewed in 2012 and launched in early 2013. Next Unit of Computing ( NUC) is a line of small-form-factor barebone computer kits designed by Intel.
