That's not happening.

The new high end application for PCs is running AIs locally.

No way you can fit a 4090 in a NUC, the GPU itself is larger than a NUC, heat dissipation requirements cannot be 'optimized' away.

Maybe not physically, but logically you can, via an external GPU.

There are some pretty interesting custom builders on YouTube such as Optimum Tech that do some fascinating custom loop compact builds and then under volt the GPU. Here is a recent one with a 4090: https://youtu.be/X0ukdo7Xx7U

Unless you are also gaming, the AI machine does not need to be your desktop. But can sit comfortably in your basement, chugging along 24/7 with no compromise adequat cooling.

I already run «AI» (machine learning) apps on my old NUC… inferencing does not take that much power.
