NiPoGi GK3 Plus N95 reviewed: A compact mini PC with an Intel N95 for office use
With the NiPoGi GK3 Plus N95, Minipc Union is selling a mini PC based on the brand-new Alder Lake N SoC. Pairing this SoC with 16 GB of RAM and a 512 GB SSD, the system manufacturer is offering a solid foundation for most office applications. Currently, the NiPoGi N95 costs 299 dollars and can be purchased directly through Amazon. The professional version of Windows 11 is included in the price.
The mini PC comes in compact packaging, including a 30-watt power supply unit and a VESA mount to attach the device to a compatible monitor.

The NiPoGi GK3 Plus N95 in detail
Features
Basically, the NiPoGi GK3 Plus N95 comes with all the important interfaces. In total, we have 4x USB Type-A and two HDMI ports with support for 4K60. Alternatively, the mini PC offers an analogue VGA connector which allows the use of older monitors. In addition, there is a network socket but no SD card reader or USB-C connector. Port placement is good and thanks to their chosen location, a tangle of cables should be avoided.
Communication
Inside the NiPoGi GK3 Plus N95, we have a WiFi module from Realtek which supports Bluetooth 4.2. We used the Asus ROG Rapture GT-AXE11000 for our performance tests. The documented transmission and reception performance is way below the class average. Compared with the comparison devices, our review sample was only able to outperform the Ace Magician T8Pro. The RJ45 interface offers a faster alternative than wireless network communication. However, more than 1 GBit/s is not possible here.

Accessories
In addition to the device itself, the mini PC only comes with a small 30-watt power supply unit as well as an HDMI cable and a mounting plate for mounting on a monitor (VESA mount).
Maintenance
With the NiPoGi GK3 Plus N95, possible maintenance tasks or upgradeable options are restricted to a minimum. The device offers only one SO-Dimm slot. Conversely, that means more RAM cannot be installed. Only a second mass storage device can be fitted relatively quickly and easily. In order to achieve this, the lid has to be removed but luckily this only involves a single screw on the base. However, the 2.5-inch mass storage must be no taller than a maximum of 7 millimetres. All cables are already present within the NiPoGi GK3 Plus N95. Anyone wishing to either clean the fan or swap the M.2 SSD will have to disassemble the device further but this is, at least, quite manageable.
Performance - The economical Intel N95 offers 4 native cores
The Intel Pentium N95 is a native quad-core SoC, providing a solid foundation for its intended use. With 16 GB of RAM, the NiPoGi GK3 Plus N95 is equipped with a generous 16 GB of RAM.
Test conditions
All performance tests were conducted using the High-Performance
energy profile, in order to achieve the best possible performance. Differing energy-saving measures only came into play in both power consumption and noise level analysis. Further details regarding our testing criteria can be found here here.
Processor
The Intel N95 possesses four native cores with a maximum boost clock speed of up to 3.4 GHz. In tests, the N95 in the NiPoGi GK3 Plus N95 demonstrated good performance and can even keep up with the Intel Core i5-11400T found in the Newsmay Neosmay S2. However, this is not the case when it comes to multi-core benchmarks, with the four-core machine unable to keep up with the native six cores found in the Neosmay S2. Nevertheless, compared to the Intel Pentium Silver N6005, the Intel N95 has its nose in front by around 20 percent. The manufacturer has defined the NiPoGi GK3 Plus N95's power limits to be 15 (PL2) and 10 watts (PL1) respectively.
Unfortunately, the somewhat questionable RAM configuration is the SoC's undoing as NiPoGi has only fitted the device with a single SO-Dimm module with 16 GB of DDR4 2666 MT/s. However, the SoC supports up to 4800 MT/s in the shape of DDR5. Nonetheless, 3200 MT/s as a DDR4 option, would have been the better choice, in order to achieve more performance. Dual-channel operation is not possible with the NiPoGi GK3 Plus N95 anyway as there is only a single SO-Dimm slot.
Additional processor benchmarks can be found here.

Cinebench R15 Loop
The Intel N95's performance is very manageable under load, as can be seen in the Cinebench R15 continuous loop analysis. Results were consistent across all runs. Only the passively cooled Newsmay AC8 shows small weaknesses here. By comparison, the NiPoGi GK3 Plus N95 was able to secure second place with an average of 404 points.
System performance
Our system performance benchmarks also demonstrated good CPU performance with our review system confidently securing second place. However, the Newsmay Neosmay S2, with its native six cores, scored higher in benchmark tests. However, we saw a totally different picture in the area of RAM tests. The suboptimal RAM configuration takes its toll and, as a result, the NiPoGi GK3 Plus N95 lags far behind the comparison devices.

DPC latencies
The NiPoGi GK3 Plus N95 already showed latency problems when opening multiple tabs in the Edge browser. Our review device had increasing problems playing our 4K test video when the SoC was pushed to its limits. This made skipped frames the order of the day. The SoC's load was only sustainably less taxed after reducing the resolution to 1080p and resulted in no additional skipped frames.

Mass storage
The ANiPoGi GK3 Plus N95 contains a 512 GB SSD. However, the installed model only uses SATA speed and, in doing so, is much inferior to faster NVMe SSDs. The manufacturer is Kimtigo - a company not so well-known on these shores. By comparison, the model used here delivers performance solid enough to secure second place. One additional 2.5-inch slot is still free, meaning the NiPoGi GK3 Plus N95 can house up to two mass storage drives.
