This should be visible on the main landing page for the Downloadcenter.Each CPU generation has seen Intel put out stronger versions of the NUC (both in terms of performance and features) in a regular cadence.While the entry level is served by Atom-class SoCs and the enthusiast category by H-G-series CPUs, the mid-range is served by the U-series SiPs (system in package) that use the Core microarchitecture.Today, we are looking at Intels latest flagship in the mid-range segment - the Core i7-based Bean Canyon (NUC8i7BEH).
The Bean Canyon NUCs build upon the capabilities of the Kaby Lake NUCs (NUC7 Baby Canyon series). From an external IO perspective, the Bean Canyon and Baby Canyon NUCs do not appear significantly different. However, the usage of a CFL-U SiP (CPU and PCH integrated in a single package) enables the following updates in the Bean Canyon family. The H in the model indicates a tall kit with support for the installation of a 2.5 SATA drive. The kit is available barebones, and users need to install either a SATA or a M.2 2280 2260 2242 NVMe drive and appropriate DDR4 SO-DIMMs. We utilized a Western Digital Black NVMe SSD and two G.Skill DDR4-3000 SODIMMs to complete our build. The system report summary generated by AIDA64 provides additional insights. CFL-U also supports CNVi, the new integrated connectivity feature that puts the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth MAC inside the PCH. In the NUC8i7BEH, the CRF (companion RF) module completes the Wireless-AC 9560 by implementing the signal processing, RF, and analog functions. The Intel Wireless-AC 9560 is a significant upgrade over the Wireless-AC 8265 in the Kaby Lake NUCs. It comes with Wave 2 features, including support for 160 MHz channels and downlink MU-MIMO. The 2x2 WLAN module is theoretically capable of 1.73 Gbps bandwidth. However, the Thunderbolt 3 USB Type-C ports display output is compliant with HDCP 2.2 also. The relevant configuration details of the machines are provided so that readers have an understanding of why some benchmark numbers are skewed for or against the Intel NUC8i7BEH (Bean Canyon) when we come to those sections. Firmware upgrades locked you out if you used Bitlocker (as in no rescue key, bye bye everything). At least it now warns you to suspend Bitlocker, but if lenovo can manage these upgrades seamlessly, why cant Intel 2. Thunderbolt implementation - seems incomplete as it wont play nice with a lenovo TB3 dock (multiple other machines do) and cant be powered from it (an edge case, I know) 3. Wont sleep my screen correctly so the keep coming on every few minutes. Other than that, it does the job but will be waiting a few generations before I upgrade (or will get a Zotac Zen box instead.). You can find it by doing an internet search for Intel Download Center or by just going to downloadcenter dot intel dot com (Im not sure what the policies are here for posting URLs).
