Chinese 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.
