GEEKOM's XT12 Pro Now Available with Core i9-12900H CPU

The GEEKOM XT12 Pro, a new mini PC that rocks an incredible Intel Core i9-12900H processor, is now available for pre-orders! The unit with 32 GB of DDR4 RAM, a 1 TB SSD, and licensed Windows 11 Pro is priced at only $699, making the XT12 Pro arguably the best-bang-for-the-buck i9 powered mini PC ever.

The GEEKOM XT12 Pro employs a uni-body aluminium chassis that measures 117 x 111 x 38.5 mm (0.5 liter). The anodized matte finish gives the mini PC a refreshingly gorgeous look, and the minimalist design makes it DIY customization easy. As small as it is, the XT12 Pro still packs a wide array of I/O, including two full-function 40 Gbps USB4, four USB-A, two HDMI 2.0, a 2.5 Gbps Ethernet port, and a 3.5 mm audio jack.
At the heart of the XT12 Pro is an Intel Core i9-12900H processor, which is built upon 10 nm process, and features 14 CPU cores, 20 threads, and 24 MB Intel Smart Cache. Packing a ton of horsepower, this chip is designed to see power users through commanding computing tasks such as software programing, 4K video editing, and intensive data analysis.

Taking care of the graphics workloads is an impressive Intel Iris Xe Graphics eligible iGPU, which offers performance equivalent to an Nvidia MX350 discrete GPU, allowing the XT12 Pro to run most modern AAA titles at decent frame rates. The Iris Xe iGPU also supports hardware en- and decoding of all mainstream video formats, making the XT12 Pro an ideal computer for streaming and creating video content.

The retail units will ship with 32 GB dual-channel DDR4-3200 MHz RAM and a 1 TB M.2 2280 PCIe 4.0x4 SSD. Both the RAM and the SSD are replaceable. There's also an M.2 2242 slot for you to add an M.2 SATA SSD.

As the Green Mini PC Global Leader, GEEKOM actively participated in this year's Earth Hour. All GEEKOM employees turned off the lighting in their apartments for 60 minutes. The company also made a video to promote Green Computing and environmental protection. Since the GEEKOM XT12 Pro is designed to consume much less power than a conventional desktop tower, it should be a perfect start for you to contribute to green and sustainable development.

The XT12 Pro is now available for Purchase on GEEKOM's official website and Amazon Store. There's also an on-going Easter Deal on GEEKOM's website, where you will find special discounts for many of your favorite mini PCs.

Looks nice, but can someone please explain what EXACTLY is so friggin "incredible" about a 12th Gen/Xe-powered mini-me box ?

There have been several other brands with this same or very similar configs for a good while now, so I don't see what all the hoopla is about...

Perhaps if they offered a barebones model for like $299, I might consider picking one up, since I already have plenty of ram & drives I could install quickly :D

Just to play devil's advocate: That $699 includes 1TB SSD and 32GB of RAM. If you part it out to assume 1TB SSD = $75, 32GB ram = $75, and Windows 11 Pro = $199; then the PC itself does come pretty darn close to your magic $299 number. Just theoretical though - no one is actually paying $199 for Windows 11 Pro haha.

Looking at limitations on SSD sizes(according to their own slides) I would much rather pick up something from Minisforum or Asrock or Gigabyte.

Yep, that's what I was getting at, since a lot of folks, like me, who are into the mini-me game, will already have ram & drives ready to drop into a new one...

Plus the fact that you never know what brand/model/quality of those parts are that they will slap in there, which is usually comes from a boatload/bulk OEM purchase of no-name stuff from who knows where...

I'd just rather not have to deal with that & just use what I know already works :D
