Seems like a huge lost opportunity for by Intel not targeting the "consumer" cloud compute market with NUC's, because they wanted to protect their high margin server chip business.
There's huge classes of workloads that a NUC would do just fine on for the cloud, and cloud operators would love the lower power & physical size of these NUC compute devices.
AMD has embraced it, and you'll see 7000 chips at various cloud compute companies like OVH & Hetzner.
