Intel Celeron N5095 Jasper Lake benchmarked: Beelink U59 mini PC review

Decent Core i3 substitute.

Intel's latest 10 nm Celeron CPU is making strides when it comes to overall processor performance. Multi-thread performance in particular rivals the Core i3-1005G1, but the integrated GPU remains disappointing.

Allen Ngo 👁, Published 11/29/2021 🇳🇱 🇨🇳 ...

Beelink recently made available its U59 mini PC to succeed its last generation U55. The system carries Intel's new quad-core Celeron N5095 to replace the older Celeron N4500, J4125, or N4120 commonly found on other mini PCs in this same $300 USD price range.

Our specific test configuration with 16 GB of dual-channel RAM and 512 GB M.2 SSD can be found online for $349 USD while a lesser configuration with half the RAM and storage can be found for just $279. Additional specifications on the U59 can be found on its official product page here.

Case

Beelink uses a similar chassis design between its U59 and AMD-based SER3 mini PC series. On the U59, however, the top is simply glossy plastic without the metal grilles or chrome-cut perimeter as found on the SER3 for a more muted look. The plastic top looks nice at first, but even the faintest of scratches or fingerprints will be difficult to hide. It also flexes more readily down its center when compared to other thicker mini PCs like the GMK NucBox 2 or Intel NUC series.

Plastic top is glossy and very prone to unsightly scratches over time

Connectivity

Physical port options are identical to the Beelink SEi10 but with the exception of Thunderbolt support. Both DisplayPort-over-USB-C and 4K60 output are supported.

Front: USB-A 3.0, USB-C w/ DisplayPort, 3.5 mm combo audio, Power button

Rear: Gigabit RJ-45, 2x USB-A 3.0, 2x HDMI 2.0, AC adapter

Communication

The 7-year-old Intel 3165 comes standard for Wi-Fi 5 connectivity up to a theoretical 433 Mbps. Performance is stable albeit much slower than modern Wi-Fi 6 modules by over a gigabit.

Maintenance

The bottom panel is secured by just four Philips screws for easy removal. Users have direct access to 2x SODIMM slots, the removable M.2 WLAN module, and two storage bays (M.2 2280 SATA III + 2.5-inch SATA III). Unfortunately, the processor and fan require additional disassembly as both are on the other side of the motherboard.

Accessories and Warranty

The retail box includes two HDMI cables, AC adapter, paperwork, and a removable VESA mounting bracket. The standard one-year limited warranty applies.

Performance

Processor

Multi-thread CPU performance is surprisingly quite close to the Ice Lake Core i3-1005G1. Conversely, single-thread performance is much slower by about 30 to 40 percent. The Celeron N5095 has four physical cores with no Hyper-Threading whereas the i3-1005G1 has two physical cores with Hyper-Threading and so it's not unexpected to see faster single-thread performance on the processor with fewer cores. Performance sustainability over time is otherwise excellent when running CineBench R15 xT in a loop.

DPC Latency

LatencyMon reveals minor DPC latency issues when opening multiple browser tabs on our homepage. 4K video playback is otherwise excellent with no dropped frames during our minute-long test. GPU utilization would be relatively high at 60 percent.

Storage Devices

Our test unit comes with a 512 GB AZW M.2 2280 SATA III SSD which is a relatively unknown brand likely to save on costs. Most other PCs utilize more well-known SSD brands such as Samsung, Intel, Kingston, or others. Transfer rates are nonetheless excellent for a SATA III drive with sequential read and write rates of about 500 MB/s each.

M.2 2280 SATA III slot does not support NVMe SSDs. A very thin aluminum heat spreader is included with our test unit

A 7 mm 2.5-inch SATA III drive can be added as a secondary or primary drive

GPU Performance

Graphics performance is about 40 to 50 percent slower than the common UHD Graphics 620 found on older laptops and mini PCs before the advent of Iris Xe. Though capable of streaming, don't expect most native games to run well.

Emissions

System Noise

The internal fan is silent at 24.5 dB(A) when the system is not running any applications. More often than not, however, users will likely be video streaming or web browsing and so the fan will occasionally jump to 28.6 dB(A) or 30.4 dB(A). Other mini PCs are much louder including Beelink's own SEi10.

Running Prime95 induces a maximum fan noise of 37.6 dB(A) to be noticeable but not distracting in an HTPC environment.

Temperature

Temperatures are not an issue on the U59. Hot spots are barely any warmer even when the system is fully stressed.

Stress Test

The CPU would stabilize at 2.8 GHz and 69 C when under Prime95 stress. The fact that the system utilizes an active fan for cooling is likely responsible for the lower-than-expected temperatures and steady performance over time. HWiNFO reports PL1 and PL2 levels of 15 W and 25 W, respectively, but we're only able to reach a stable 15 W when running such extreme loads. Running this same test on the Core i3-powered Beelink SEi10 would result in a significantly warmer core temperature of 90 C.

	CPU Clock (GHz)	GPU Clock (MHz)	Average CPU Temperature (°C)
System Idle	--	--	39
Prime95 Stress	2.8	--	69
Prime95 + FurMark Stress	2.6	--	66
Witcher 3 Stress	0.5	--	50

Energy Management

Power Consumption

Idling on desktop with no running applications would consume more than expected at around 7 W whereas the Intel NUC8 or GMK NucBox K1 could draw as low as 3 W each. Higher loads like games would draw much less on our U59 at just 13 W to 16 W on average compared to 2x or higher on mini PCs with faster UHD Graphics 620 or Iris Xe GPUs.

Wall wart AC adapter (~7.9 x 4.8 x 3.4 cm excluding prongs) can output up to 36 W

The system can only be powered by the proprietary AC adapter as generic USB-C adapters will not work

Power consumption when running 3DMark 06

Power consumption when running Witcher 3

Prime95 causes consumption to spike to 24.7 W. The system is able to maintain this draw over long periods

Verdict

In review: Beelink U59. Test unit provided by Beelink

The low price of $279 to $349 USD complete with RAM, storage, and Windows 11 Pro is the most compelling selling point of the Beelink U59. Performance-per-dollar is noticeably higher than previous generation Celeron mini PCs as well by as much as 2x to 2.5x in terms of multi-thread performance or 50 percent in terms of single-thread performance and graphics. We appreciate that both storage bays, both RAM slots, and the WLAN module are easily accessible and upgradeable meaning interested buyers don't need to shell out for the higher-end configuration if they don't mind upgrading such components themselves.

It's not quite a Core i3, but the Jasper Lake Celeron N5095 is at least much closer to one than any other mobile Celeron CPUs before it. The Beelink U59 offers noticeably better performance than most other mini PCs in the $200 to $350 price range.

The drawbacks are minor but they do add up. The fact that the system requires a proprietary AC barrel adapter is an annoyance when it could have been powered by the more universal USB-C instead. The fan, though generally quiet, tends to pulse frequently in response to workloads. The lack of an SD card reader may vex users who rely on it while the top plastic plate feels cheap and prone to scratching. If you have to get any Celeron mini PC, however, then the Jasper Lake-powered Beelink U59 can be a good option simply because of the notable performance benefits over older Celeron chips such as those in the GMK NucBox K1 or Chuwi GBox.

Price and Availability

Amazon is currently shipping the Beelink U59 starting at $279 USD up to $349 USD depending on the RAM and storage option.

After graduating with a B.S. in environmental hydrodynamics from the University of California, I studied reactor physics to become licensed by the U.S. NRC to operate nuclear reactors. There's a striking level of appreciation you gain for everyday consumer electronics after working with modern nuclear reactivity systems astonishingly powered by computers from the 80s. When I'm not managing day-to-day activities and US review articles on Notebookcheck, you can catch me following the eSports scene and the latest gaming news.
