While Intel’s classic 4×4 NUCs have been pretty powerful systems capable of handling demanding workloads, the company never cared to install its top-of-the-range CPUs into its compact PCs. GEEKOM apparently decided to fix this and this week introduced its Mini IT13: the industry’s first 4×4 desktop with an Intel Core i9 processor, offering with 14 CPU cores inside.\u00a0<\/p>\n


\n <\/p>\n

The\u00a0Mini IT13 from GEEKOM<\/a>\u00a0measures 117 mm \u00d7 112 mm \u00d7 49.2 mm, making it as small as Intel’s classic NUC systems. Despite its compact size, it can pack Intel’s mobile-focused 14-core\u00a0Core i9-13900H<\/a>\u00a0(6P+8E cores, 20 threads, up to 5.40 GHz, 24 MB cache, 45W) that comes with integrated Xe graphics processing unit with enhanced performance (Xe-LP, 96 EUs or 768 stream processors at up to 1.50 GHz).\u00a0<\/p>\n


\n <\/p>\n

To maintain consistent performance of the CPU and avoid overheating and performance drops of even under significant loads, the system employs a blower-style cooler, which produces up to 43.6 dBA of noise, so the machine is not exactly whisper quite to say the least.<\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

The compact PC\u00a0supports\u00a0\u00a0up to 64 GB of DDR4\u00a0memory through two SODIMMs, an M.2-2280\u00a0with a\u00a0PCIe 4.0\u00a0x4interface\u00a0and an M.2-2242\u00a0SSD with a\u00a0SATA interface, and an additional 2.5-inch HDD or SSD for more extensive storage.<\/p>\n


\n <\/p>\n

As far as\u00a0connectivity\u00a0is concerned, the\u00a0GEEKOM Mini IT13\u00a0comes with a\u00a0Wi-Fi\u00a06E+ Bluetooth\u00a05.2\u00a0module, a 2.5 GbE port,\u00a0two\u00a0USB4\u00a0connectors, three USB 3.2 Gen2 ports,\u00a0one\u00a0USB 2.0 Type-A\u00a0connector,\u00a0two\u00a0HDMI 2.0 outputs\u00a0(in addition to two DPs supported through USB4),\u00a0an SD card reader,\u00a0and a TRRS audio jack for headphones.\u00a0<\/p>\n


\n <\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

Although\u00a0GEEKOM does not\u00a0directly mention it, the USB4 ports\u00a0potentially allow\u00a0to connect\u00a0an external graphics card in an eGFX enclosure\u00a0and make the Mini IT13 a quite decent gaming machine. Meanwhile, even without an external graphics card, the unit can support up to four displays simultaneously.<\/p>\n


\n <\/p>\n

Interestingly, the GEEKOM IT13 machine does not cost an arm and a leg. The cheapest version with Core i5-13500H, 16 GB of RAM, and a 512 GB SSD can be purchased for $499, whereas the most expensive model with Core i9-13900H, 32 GB of memory, and 2 TB of solid-state storage costs $789.<\/p>\n
