Interesting info, the "Vega" GPU may not actually be a full Vega GPU, or maybe it is, but some features don't seem supported:

Two models:
NUC8i7HVK, $999, with i7-8809G (4C/8T, 3.1GHz base, 4.2GHz turbo, unlocked) and Radeon RX Vega M GH (24 CUs, 64PPC, 4GB HBM2, ~200GB/s bandwidth) 100W package TDP
NUC8i7HNK, $799, with i7-8705G (4C/8T, 3.1GHz base, 4.1GHz turbo) and Radeon RX Vega M GL (20 CUs, 32 PPC 4GB HBM2, ~180GB/s bandwidth) 65W package TDP
lots of IO (2x USB-C thunderbolt 3.0, 7USB ports, dual mDP outputs, dual HDMI 2.0b (one front), two NICs, 8265 wifi-ac, 2x m.2 slots for SSDs and support for DDR4-2400 (couldn't find anything about higher mem clocks on the unlocked version).
Of other potential interest: a little bigger than the Skull Canyon system but with more capable cooling. Anandtech's review doesn't have noise measurements but it's mentioned in the comments the 100W version is roughly comparble on noise.
Also of interest, seems Intel has for some reason bypassed some of their own iGPU's video playback capabilities, so the UHD blu-ray playback seems like it isn't happening.
There are other OEM SFF boxes that will be more capable but also more expensive: ASRock's Deskmini GTX 1060 (needs a processor added, putting entry price at about $1000, give or take a bit), Zotac's ZBOX with 1060 (starts at $800, arguably not quite the same since it has a "T" desktop proc in it, but still in the ballpark) and Gigabyte's Brix with 1060 (seems to be ~ $1200). So for the performance on offer the prices seem roughly in-line with other OEMs.
