ASRock Industrial NUC Ultra 300 Motherboard Series Intel Core Ultra Series 3 NUC Motherboards with ECC, Quad Display and Dual 2.5GbE

When an equipment design needs local AI inference but the enclosure is already fixed, the board has to fit the space rather than the other way round. The ASRock Industrial NUC Ultra 300 Motherboard Series brings Intel Core Ultra Series 3 (Panther Lake-H) processors to the NUC board format, so a vision cell, signage player or edge AI device can gain an NPU without a new enclosure. These NUC motherboards follow the live NUC 1300 boards on 13th Gen Intel Core.

Every board in the NUC Ultra 300 range shares the same memory, storage and I/O decisions. Two SO-DIMM sockets take up to 128 GB of DDR5, and every processor supports Intel In-Band ECC to help protect data on long-running tasks. Storage runs on two M.2 Key M sockets, one at PCIe Gen5 and one at Gen4, with Intel VMD RAID 0 or 1. Networking is two Intel 2.5GbE ports (I226LM and I226V), and up to four displays run from two HDMI 2.1 outputs, DisplayPort 2.1 through a USB4 port with Thunderbolt 4 support and DisplayPort 1.4a through a USB 3.2 Type-C port. An internal RS-232/422/485 header, two internal USB 2.0, Intel PTT and a watchdog timer complete the set.

The range splits by processor. The NUC-358H carries the Core Ultra X7 358H, a 16-core processor with Intel Arc B390 graphics, an NPU rated at 50 TOPS and DDR5 7200 memory support, for the heaviest vision and AI loads in the series. The NUC-325 carries the Core Ultra 5 325, an eight-core processor with Intel Xe3 graphics, an NPU rated at 47 TOPS and DDR5 6400, for signage and lighter inference where cost and power matter more.

In practice, the NUC Ultra 300 series suits machine vision, digital signage, edge AI devices and light industrial equipment. Both boards run from 12 to 24 V DC through a DC jack with AT and ATX power-on modes, are rated from -20 °C to 70 °C, store from -40 °C to 85 °C and carry CE and FCC marks. For projects that would rather start from a finished unit, the same processors are available in ASRock Industrial NUC BOX models, and our team can help you decide which suits your equipment.
