In this article we benchmark the NUC 13 Pro. The tests are run using the Phoronix Test Suite, unless otherwise stated. Together with the NUC 13 Pro, we’ve run the benchmarks on two fairly recent desktop machines hosting a 10th generation and 12th generation Intel processor. These desktop machines each have a CPU with a base processor power of 65W, whereas the NUC 13’s CPU has a base processor power of only 28W.
