What does 32GB DDR4 mean in an industrial PC?
32GB DDR4 is the amount and type of system memory (RAM) in a computer. DDR4 is a memory standard widely used in embedded and industrial computers. A 32GB capacity lets a system run several applications, large data sets and multitasking workloads at the same time without slowing down. In Thinvent's IPC3 range, the 32GB is installed as two 16GB modules, which is a common configuration for dual-channel memory operation.
