Geekom Mini IT12 review: Intel NUC competitor with an Intel Core i7-1260P works very quietly!

NUC but quiet! The Geekom Mini IT12 is an interesting alternative to the well-known Intel NUC models. The Taiwanese manufacturer has chosen a mobile Intel Alder Lake SoC. In this review, we took a closer look at what this mini PC can deliver, and whether it can live up to the class leader, Intel. Thanks to its Thunderbolt port, we were also able to take a look at its gaming performance using an external GPU.

The Geekom Mini IT12 is a compact and yet extremely powerful mini PC. Our test device is equipped with an Intel Core i7-1260P, 16 GB RAM, a 512 GB SSD and Windows 11 Professional. Currently, the manufacturer's asking price for the device is $639. This is already cheaper than its MRSP of $979. The cheaper version of the Mini IT12 starts at around $591. Then, you just have to settle for an Intel Core i5-1240P - which is by no means a bad SoC. Compared to our test device, there are no differences in SSDs.

A clear competitor to the Geekom Mini IT12 is the Intel NUC series - especially Wall Street Canyon and Arena Canyon models. Both models also have powerful SoCs and looks-wise, they are also quite similar. Some Morefine and Minisforum devices also prove to be similarly powerful competitors. You can find a list of comparison devices for this review in the following table.

Case

Geekom Mini IT12 - VESA mount (source: Geekom)

Visually, the Geekom Mini IT12 looks very similar to the Intel NUC models. With a footprint of 11.7 x 11.2 centimeters, they even have identical sizes. However, the Geekom Mini IT12 differs in height, as it has space to accomodate an additional 2.5-inch drive. Wall Street Canyon and Arena Canyon also have a selection of tall models which are constructed a bit bigger in height. At 4.5 centimetres tall, the Geekom Mini IT12 is still a relatively flat device. The biggest difference compared to its Intel competitors is its color: The Geekom Mini IT12 has a turquoise case and Intel are firmly tied to their black design. The Mini IT12's surfaces have a high-quality feel. We especially like the case lid, which looks considerably higher quality than its Intel counterparts. Unfortunately, most of the case is made from plastic - but visually, it has no faults whatsoever. A metal case would still give the device a slightly nicer feel - as seen in the Morefine M600 devices. It has to be said that none of these complaints are big issues at all - the device isn't lacking any stability which would justify the use of an aluminum case. Stability is provided by the metal reinforcements which are located beneath the plastic outer layer - again, the same as the Intel NUC devices.

On a side note: Just like with many other mini PCs, the Geekom Mini IT12 can be connected to a monitor using the provided VESA mount.

Connectivity

In terms of connectivity options, a lot speaks for the Geekom Mini IT12. It has four USB Type-A ports - which unfortunately only offer USB 2.0 speed. Furthermore, it has two modern USB-4 connections with Thunderbolt support. This allows for many external devices to be connected, which in turn can broaden the compact device's range of uses massively. In total, four screens can be connected via HDMI and Thunderbolt. The mini PC also features a 2.5 GB network connection, as well as an SD card reader which performs really well.

Communication

Geekom make no compromises and have given the Mini IT12 a modern Wi-Fi-6E-AX211 module. The same model can be seen in the Intel NUC 12 Pro Kit as well as the Intel NUC 13 Pro Kit. The measured performance when sending and receiving data was good to very good in both 5 GHz and 6 GHz bands. An Asus ROG Rapture GT-AXE11000 was used as a test router for this test.

Accessories

Also included in the package is a 90-watt power adapter as well as a plate for the VESA mount. We also received an HDMI cable and short instruction manual.

Maintenance

The bottom of the Geekom Mini IT12 can be opened easily. The plate is held on by four screws, which also help dissipate heat coming off the SSD. Underneath, you can easily access the RAM and SSD slots. The WLAN module can also be swapped out and a 2.5-inch drive can be installed. It isn't the easiest to clean the fan - this would require the device to be further taken apart. The top plate isn't screwed on - one careful tug and it comes off smoothly.

Performance - Powerful Core i7 with P and E cores

With the use of an Intel Core i7-1260p, we expect the Geekom Mini to provide flawless performance in everyday use. Thanks to its combination of P and E cores, the SoC should be able to master even more complex tasks and, thus, live up to the Intel NUC 12 Pro Kit's standards easily - a device which has the same SoC.

Testing conditions

We performed all performance tests using the energy profile Balanced. We did not change the SoC's performance and instead left it in the state in which it was delivered to us according to the BIOS settings.

Processor

The Geekom Mini IT12 is equipped with a modern Intel Core i7-1260P. The SoC has access to twelve native cores and alongside this, it can process 16 threads in total. This makes the small processor a solid basis for complex tasks. Its short-term power consumption (PL2) is specified as being 64 watts and at continuous load (PL1) it consumes 28 watts. Compared to both of its Intel NUC competitors, our test device's much lower PL1 value in our test proved to be the reason for it having a much lower multi-thread performance. In total, though, its ratings were only 8 per cent behind the Intel NUC 12 Pro Kit.

Geekom Mini IT12 vs. Cinebench R15 Multi Loop

We got our first look at how efficiently the installed cooling system works in combination with the SoC's power target during the Cinebench R15 continuous loop: The SoC performed best during the first run, where its maximum Turbo was able to be used. We already measured much lower results during the second run - for long stretches, the Intel Core i7-1260P only had access to 28 watts. During the rest of the test, we didn't measure any notable performance fluctuations and the device had an average result of 1,280 points.

System performance

The very conservatively set PL2 (Power Limit 2) meant that our test sample performed comparatively poor in the synthetic system performance benchmarks. However, the gap was much more noticeable in PCMark 10 than in Crossmark or the RAM benchmarks. In the latter, the Geekom Mini IT12 even achieved relatively good results and placed itself ahead of the Intel NUC 12 Pro Kit. The PC's performance is good and certainly proves to be suitable for everyday use.

DPC latency

The Intel Core i7-1260P works well with the other components on the Geekom Mini IT12. When playing our 4K test video, we didn't observe any increased latencies. The iGPU was used to about 15 per cent of its capacity and even using Prime95 couldn't elicit any high latencies.

Storage devices

The Mini IT12 has a 512 GB NVMe SSD made by Kingston. The installed model uses the NVMe port, so it delivers good transfer rates. Nevertheless, the documented results cannot compete with those of the comparison devices. The first three comparison devices show what can be achieved with a very fast SSD. Nevertheless, the SSD's performance in the Geekom Mini IT12 is clearly superior to that of conventional SATA SSDs. In everyday use, the SSD is fast enough and in our test, there were generally no noticeable latencies. Under permanent load, the SSD was not able to access its full performance. Here it is clearly missing a cooling element to help avoid this decline in continuous load performance.

You can install up to three SSDs into the Geekom Mini IT12. Next to the NVMe SSD, you can install one further M.2 2242 SSD - however, this is limited to the SATA speed. Furthermore, a 2.5 inch storage device can also be installed into the device - here, you have to stick to a maximum height of 7 milimeters.

For further comparisons and benchmarks, take a look at our comparison table.
