Geekbench can be useful in this case ...
You can try with this :
EDIT: IT DOESN'T WORK !!!
Code:

Hi everyone, hi
@Sebinouse, thank you all for your valuable tips on making this NUC work.
Today, after experimenting with the original Clover configuration/files provided in post #1, I updated to latest Clover v3543 and tested
Macmini7,1 as SMBIOS (manually entered data in config.plist). I rebooted and the device seems to book OK (booted without caches, first) and had
no visible warnings in verbose boot.
What is used was slightly different to
@Sebinouse, namely the below, from user
Quadie at insanely:

I am running Intel's Power Gadget and it seems the CPU stepping to work, frequency goes from 1.20GHz to 2.30GHz when running Geekbench. The results of Geekbench (v3.3.4) 64-bit mode were slightly lower than those when SMBIOS was set to MacBook Air, but still 5309 are OK compared to 5494 earlier. Temperature (per Intel's Gadget) seems a little higher, too, when idle. Running latest 10.10.5 and all updates.
I am still using original SSDT.aml and SSDT-1.aml provided by
@minihack (many thanks again!!!)
without SSDT-2.aml as I am using Atheros AR9280 PCIe that's working OOB.
The only issue I'd like to report is:
1) How to generate proper serial for Macmini7,1? Clover Configurator doesn't include it.
2)
@Sebinouse why you wrote that it didn't work? (few months back, of course)
3) Anyone else re-tried it to set (manually set SMBIOS inside config.plist)
4) In verbose boot, I got
X86PlatformShim::SendPStates - Success! but I also see some other message like
com_intel_driver_EnergyDriver[0xffffff8025b78f00]::start(0xffffff8023a30b00) that I don't think I had earlier.
Your comments are welcome! Thank you again everyone for your assistance in previous pages.
EDIT: My NUC is D54250WYK
