Advantech makes rackmount and industrial PCs, including the IPC-610, a 4U, 14-slot rackmount IPC built around an industrial motherboard and a 400W ATX power supply. The Thinvent IPC5 Industrial PC is a fanless alternative for buyers who need a compact, passively cooled industrial PC with a choice of Intel and AMD processors. The IPC5 with Intel Core i5 12th Gen 1240P is the closest match in processor class.
We could not confirm the IPC-610's processor, RAM, storage, operating system or cooling details from the facts available to us, so those cells are marked "Not confirmed".
