This chip is based on Meteor Lake: Intel’s new microarchitecture that contains chiplet-like tiles. The processor has a boost clock of up to 4.8GHz. The RNUC14SRKU9189A0I is supplied with a Intel Core Ultra 9 185Hprocessor supplied. The SoC contains sixteen computing cores, including six P-cores, eight E-cores and two LP cores, and has a boost clock of up to 5.1GHz.

Both variants of the mini PCs have identical dimensions: 144x112x41mm. Both the RNUC14SRKU7168A0I and the RNUC14SRKU9189A0I have according to ASUS about two DDR5-5600 memory slots and three M.2 slots for PCIe Gen 4 SSDs. The mini PCs have a Thunderbolt 4 port at the back, two USB-A connections for USB 3.2 Gen 2, two USB 2.0 ports, 1 HDMI connection, two DisplayPort 1.4a connections and an RJ45 connector for 2. 5Gbit/s Ethernet. On the front of the devices there is an SD Express memory card reader, a 3.5mm jack and two USB-A connections for USB 3.2 Gen 2. Both devices have Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3.

According to ASUS, the volume of the mini PCs is 2.5 liters. The manufacturer has given the mini computers a toolless design, allowing users to perform maintenance tasks and upgrades without tools. The computers come with an OG Armory Crate app. This allows color schemes of the built-in RGB lighting to be controlled.
