I've been using a Haswell Intel NUC as a small, passively cooled Emulation machine. However, I'd now add Wii and GQ emulation to the mix and I guess that my existing hardware just doesn't cut it anymore.
The NUC comes with a Intel Core i3-4010U @ 1.70GHz (Passmark scores), 8GB of RAM and an Intel HD Graphics 4400.
My goal would be to be able to run the following titles in 720p or preferably 1080p and without slowdowns:
Any recommendations on one of the newer i3 or i5 NUCs? Or how about a small mini-itx system with the new low-TPD AMD Ryzen 5 2400GE chips?
