Key differences
-
The Thinvent IPC5 with Intel Core i5 13th 1335U and the IPC1 with AMD Ryzen 5 7530U both support up to 64 GB of RAM, twice the 32 GB maximum of the BOXER-6641.
-
The Thinvent IPC5 uses a newer processor generation (13th Gen Intel Core) than the 8th Generation Core platform of the BOXER-6641.
-
Both Thinvent models are fanless, as is the BOXER-6641, so they use passive cooling.
-
The BOXER-6641 has six COM ports and up to eight USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports (A2 model). We could not confirm the Thinvent IPC5 or IPC1 COM port count from the listed specifications; the Thinvent IPC1 lists four USB 3.0 ports and four front USB 2.0 ports.
-
The Thinvent models give you a choice of operating system, including Windows 11 Pro, Ubuntu Linux and Thinux Embedded Linux.
Which one should you choose?
Choose the Aaeon BOXER-6641 if you need its six COM ports and ECC memory option for an 8th Generation Intel platform. Choose a Thinvent IPC5 or IPC1 if you need up to 64 GB of RAM, a newer processor generation, and a choice of operating system.
