Slim barebone for custom builds
The ASUS NUC 15 Pro+ NUC15CRSU5 is a compact barebone system built around an Intel Core Ultra 5 225H processor with integrated Arc graphics. It arrives without memory or storage so integrators can choose DDR5 modules and NVMe drives that match their workload. The slim chassis targets offices, digital-signage deployments and edge-AI projects that need a small footprint with modern connectivity.
Dual DDR5 slots up to 96 GB
Two 262-pin SO-DIMM slots accept DDR5 5600 memory and support dual-channel operation up to 96 GB. This capacity ceiling is the decisive figure for workloads that keep large datasets in RAM; systems limited to 64 GB would force earlier paging and reduce sustained throughput.
Sustained throughput with Wi-Fi 7 and 2.5 Gbps LAN
Under continuous load the platform maintains wire-speed transfers through its Intel i226V 2.5 Gbps Ethernet port and Wi-Fi 7 wireless link. The 7.1-channel onboard audio and support for four 4K outputs via HDMI 2.1 and Thunderbolt remain active without throttling, making the unit reliable for long-running media or inference tasks.
