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.

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.

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

Emissions - Economical but not silent

Noise emissions

The built-in cooling system is not big but is relatively quiet when running idle and under low load. Under load, our measuring device registered a maximum of 42,5 dB(A), after a certain period of time. With the exception of the Nofflink M500, the NiPoGi GK3 Plus N95 is significantly louder than comparable devices and is difficult to ignore. However, subjectively speaking, the fan noise cannot be considered distracting. The stress test simulates an extreme scenario that is unlikely to be typical for everyday use cases. As a result, during normal use and under average load, the NiPoGi GK3 Plus N95 is pleasantly quiet, registering 33 dB(A).

Temperature

Under load, the NiPoGi GK3 Plus N95's case warms up noticeably. The smaller hotspots we experienced, especially in the fan outlet area, didn't have any additional effect on performance. The SoC reached a maximum of 86 °C under load. However, this figure was only achieved immediately after booting with the SoC still able to operate with up to 15 watts, for a short time. Subsequently, we recorded somewhat lower temperatures with an average of 73 °C.

Power consumption

When it comes to the NiPoGi GK3 Plus N95's power consumption, we saw consistently low numbers. At well under 10 watts, the device runs very economically in idle use. Even under load, a peak of 21.1 watts can still be considered low power consumption. The power supply unit can provide a maximum of 30 watts and is therefore not overly stressed. Quite the opposite, we still clearly saw the capacity for an additional optional mass storage device.

NiPoGi GK3 Plus N95 review model provided by Minipc Union

The NiPoGi GK3 Plus N95 is based on the brand-new Intel N95 and can therefore be considered an ultra-modern machine. The quad-core machine's performance is good and can be placed on par with the Intel Core i5-11400T, making it quite remarkable what can be squeezed out of the small SoC. However, the built-in RAM, which only runs at 2,666 MT/s, is our biggest point of criticism. The system would have benefited from optimum configuration and also provided it with more power. In addition, we would have expected the implementation of DDR5, as the manufacturer has only gone with single-channel RAM. This means performance is sacrificed from the off. This could have been compensated for by using faster RAM.

Build quality is good, although we would have had no objections to using more premium materials. There can be no complaints concerning the variety of ports. A sufficient number of USB and two HDMI ports come as standard and are should be enough for most users. More shouldn't be expected of the built-in SSD due to its SATA connectivity. However, this model is faster than a typical hard drive and 512 GB is a generous amount of storage.

With the new Intel N95, the NiPoGi GK3 Plus N95 offers an efficient SoC with good performance for everyday use.

Nevertheless, we feel the need to criticize the built-in WLAN module. A modern Wi-Fi 6 module would have been the better option here. Additionally, the Wi-Fi module was unable to deliver impressively fast data transfer rates. However, we see the potential of the integrated Intel N95, especially when considering the device's intended use. At around 299 dollars, the NiPoGi GK3 Plus N95 costs the same as the Nofflink M500.
