What Is a 12th Gen Intel Processor?
12th Gen is the Intel processor generation that the Thinvent range uses for its industrial PCs, mini PCs and all-in-one PCs. The range includes three processor series: Intel Core i5, Intel Core i3 and Intel N-Series (N95 and N100). Each series has a different core count, clock speed and cache size. A buyer selects the series that matches the workload, the power budget and the operating system.
