Good catch, though it's confusingly listed under dGPU. So, are they saying the dGPU will feature HDMI 2.1, and how are they certain (unless the dGPUs will have some special form factor that routes its outputs through the NUC's mobo)?

Anyway, since Zhiye mentioned that right before the 2x MiniDP 1.4 ports, it's pretty clear that the info was meant to parrot what's visible on that slide.

What I don't really get is why you'd need a vapor chamber cooler for a 28 W CPU. That's something you normally find on GPUs burning 6-11x as much power.

Maybe due to the small die size and perhaps low thermal headroom? Or, do they just want the base config to stay quiet, even under load?
