Beelink GTi15 Ultra, When You Want A Mini-PC And A High End Triple Slot GPU
It’s An Upgrade Path, Albeit An Odd One
ServeTheHome tested the Beelink GTi15 Ultra, a mini-PC powered by an Intel Core Ultra 9 285H with Arc 140T integrated GPU, and pair of 32GB DDR5-5600 SO-DIMMs with the option to buy a model with a pair of 64GB DDR5 DIMMs which will probably raise the cost of the system to over $1 million US in today’s nightmarish RAM market. The model tested in this review shipped with a Crucial P3 Plus QLC NAND SSD in one NVMe slot, with the other empty and available for an upgrade. The Wi-Fi 7 + BT 5.4 is provided by Intel’s BE200 and the dual 10Gbase-T NICs are Intel as well. The single 8x PCIe slot is specifically for the Beelink GPU dock, and won’t properly support an add-in card, not that you’ll find many that would fit.
The connectivity is impressive, even without the dock. The front has several USB 3.2 Gen2 ports, there is also a single 40Gbps USB4 port on the back which is not Thunderbolt compliant, because USB4 is a mess, and a pair of older USB-A ports. There are the aforementioned 10Gbps ports, and SD card slot, audio jacks and finally HDMI 2.0b and DisplayPort 1.4.
When you add the dock, you can soup up the performance of the Beelink GTi15 Ultra with a triple slot GPU, an additional M.2 2280 slot and a Wi-Fi radio as the one built into the Beelink GTi15 Ultra will experience interference from the dock. The dock contains a 600W internal power supply, which should handle just about any GPU you want to pop in.
The Beelink GTi15 Ultra is an update to the Beelink GTi12 Ultra Mini PC Review we did some time ago. It combines a fast Intel processor and a great dual 10Gbase-T NIC with more integration than we saw in older Beelink designs.
