Lightroom and Photoshop performance on Intel Skull Canyon NUC?

[ahnafakeef]

Hello everyone.

Do any of you use an Intel Skull Canyon NUC for your photo processing needs? If yes, please share your experience with me.

I currently use a desktop with a 3770K, 16GB DDR3 memory, Titan Xs in SLI, 4K screen, two SSDs and multiple hard drives. I'm planning on switching to an Intel NUC setup for my LR and PS requirements. The system will have a 6770HQ, 16GB DDR4 memory, Intel iGPU, 4K/5K screen, m.2 SSD(s) and an external hard drive for mass storage.

What are the disadvantages of the latter system? Should I make any change so that I can extract more performance from it?

Thank you.
