In the detailed specifications posted by FanlessTech, it looks like the Intel NUC 11 Essential will be available in three flavors. All three flavors will be powered by different Jasper Lake CPUs. The CPU lineup is based on the 10nm Tremont core architecture which is part of the Atom lineup and also features Intel's Gen 11 GPU.
Looking at the CPU options for the Intel NUC 11 Essential, we have the Pentium Silver J6005 which features 4 cores, 4 threads, clock speeds of 2.0 GHz base & 3.3 GHz boost, 4 MB of L3 cache, 10W TDP, and an Intel UHD GPU with 32 EUs clocked at 900 MHz. Next up, we have the Celeron J5105 which features the same specifications but features lower clock speeds of 2.0 GHz base & 2.9 GHz boost. The chip also features a cut-down Gen 11 GPU with 24 EUs clocked at 800 MHz. Lastly, we have the Celeron J4505 which is a 2 core and 2 thread part with 4 MB L3 cache, 10W TDP, & clock speeds rated at 2.0 GHz base and 2.9 GHz boost. The CPU has a 16 EU Gen 11 GPU with clocks of 750 MHz.
All of these Jasper Lake parts can be configured down to 6.5W TDP. Other specifications for the Intel NUC 11 Essential include up to 16 GB dual-channel DD4-2933 SODIMM memory support, 2 M.2 slots for PCIe Gen 4 NVMe and SATA SSDs, support for dual 4K displays, and a plastic casing with a metal inner frame.
