GEEKOM IT15 is a mini PC with up to Core Ultra 9 285H

The GEEKOM IT15 is a mini PC that measures 135.5 x 115.5 x 34.5mm (5.33″ x 4.55″ x 1.36″) and features support for up to 64GB of DDR5-5600 memory, up two M.2 SSDs, and a 2.5 inch hard drive or SSD.

It’s also one of the first mini PCs announced to feature an Intel Arrow Lake processor. GEEKOM says the little computer will be available soon with a choice of Intel Core Ultra 5 225H or Core Ultra 9 285H processors.

Intel hasn’t actually announced either of those chips yet – but the company will most likely do so during its CES 2025 keynote tomorrow.

GEEKOM spilled the beans in a press release though, revealing that the Core Ultra 9 285H is a 15-core processor with a base CPU frequency of 3.7 GHz and support for max boost speeds up to 5.4 GHz, while the Core Ultra 5 225H is a 14-core chip with CPU frequencies that start at 1.7 GHz and top out at 4.9 GHz.

Both chips are said to feature Intel Arc XE-LPG+A130T graphics.

The GEEKOM IT15 is the latest in a line of Intel-powered from the company. Ian reviewed the Mini IT13 with a Core i9-13900H processor and the GT1 Mega with a Meteor Lake processor, and it looks like the new model has a similar design and feature set to the IT13. But the new model has a slightly larger chassis and an updated processor.

The mini PC has two SODIMM slots for DDR5-5600 memory, an M.2 2280 slot for a PCIe Gen 4×4 SSD, and an M.2 2242 slot that supports SATA storage as well as room inside the case for a 2.5 inch hard drive or SSD.

Wireless capabilities include support for WiFi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4, and ports include:

2 x USB4 Type-C (one with support for USB-PD power input)
3 x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A
1 x USB 2.0 Type-A
2 x HDMI 2.0
1 x 2.5 GbE Ethernet (Intel)
1 x 3.5mm audio
1 x microSD card reader

The mini PC comes with a 120W (19V/6.32A) power adapter and GEEKOM says Windows 11 Pro is pre-installed.

Pricing and availability haven’t been announced yet.

GEEKOM’s 2025 mini PC lineup includes Intel Arrow Lake, AMD Strix Point, and Qualcomm Snapdragon X models

Taiwanese mini PC maker GEEKOM has confirmed earlier reports that it working on one of the first small form factor desktop computers powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon X chip. It’s one of several new mini PCs that the company says it’ll be showing off at CES 2025 in January.

Other models include the first GEEKOM device with an AMD Strix Point processor, and a new model supporting up to an Intel Core Ultra 9 285H processor (which Intel hasn’t officially announced yet).

The GEEKOM IT15 will be the company’s new Intel-powered model, featuring dual-channel DDR5-5600 memory, support for up to two SSDs, up to four displays, and “a fast SD card reader.” With support for up to a Core Ultra 9 285H processor, this mini PC is expected to feature a 45-watt mobile processor that’s part of the same family as Intel’s Arrow Lake chips that first launched a few months ago for larger, higher-power desktops.

We’ll likely have to wait for an official announcement from Intel before we know how these chips compare with the Alder Lake-S processors for higher-performance systems and Intel’s Core Ultra 200V Lunar Lake chips with on-chip memory and high-performance integrated graphics.

Meanwhile the GEEKOM A9 Max is a mini PC featuring an AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 375 Strix Point processor with 12 CPU cores and 24-threads (4 x Zen 5 and 8 x Zen 5c) and Radeon 890M integrated graphics (16 x RDNA 3.5 GPU cores) and a Ryzen AI NPU with up to 50 TOPS of AI performance.

And, as expected, the GEEKOM QS1 mini PC features a Qualcomm Snapdragon X1E-80-100 processor with 12 Oryon CPU cores at up to 4 GHz, Adreno X1-85 graphics, and a 45 TOPS NPU.
