News Intel's NUC 11 Extreme Compute Element Gets The Core i9-11980HK

I would even take a XE max embedded on this (from what I read the 6/8 core tiger varients only get 32 EU compared to the 80/92 of Tigerlake-U). This is the closest we are going to get to a 10nm desktop part it looks like for awhile [Alder lake release?].

This might be my next workstation. I saw the last gen Xeon NUC element for a tempting price, but would prefer the better graphics on this as it will likely be awhile before I can find an external GPU at a decent price to run alongside this.
 
The NUC Extreme 9 (Ghost Canyon) with an i9-9980 had a dedicated GPU slot without the card, memory & a hard drive. Which is still selling at a bit over 1K. Couldn't you just build a mini-ITX system for a lot less? I would; minus the GPU until prices come down!

I am currently using a NUC9i9QNX as my mobile workstation. I use 2 fold flat 17 inch monitors with its been great on long trips.
