The performance of the Intel Kaby Lake-G with AMD RX Vega M GH graphics is at the level of the GTX 1050 Ti, now, the price of the NUC Hades Canyon, is a real nonsense.

The strange (but no less great) alliance between Intel and AMD, to launch a Kaby Lake-G processor, with integrated AMD RX Vega graphics, is giving a lot to talk about in recent months and weeks and this alliance strategy, is an excellent solution, especially for entry gamers. The Kaby Lake-G, will have Kaby Lake cores and a Radeon RX Vega M GH, which will put the power. This solution, according to The Tech Report data, would match in performance a GTX 1050 Ti, so… PARTY!

They have tested the NUC Hades Canyon equipment, specifically the NUC8i7HVK model. This equipment has a Core i7 8809G processor, which is also characterized by supporting overclocking, so we can increase its power, to a certain extent, because the system heatsink is not a wonderful thing either. This equipment has a size of 142x221x39mm, so the space it occupies is minimal and it is quite silent. To dissipate the heat, a cooler with a vapor chamber has been installed, to improve dissipation efficiency.

Although the performance is excellent, it has a huge drawback and that is the price. The NUC Hades Canyon will be priced at $ 999, without RAM, storage, and operating system, so we're off to $ 1.200-1.400 right away. It may have the best performance in the world, but it is absurdly expensive and for this price you get a good gaming device, with a GTX 1060 and a Core i5. It is clear that the idea is great, we love it, but the execution is completely zero, since it does not make the slightest sense that this system, designed for entry-level gaming, has the price of a mid-range, medium-high range.
