The Raspberry Pi is a single-board computer built around an ARM processor. The Intel Core i5 series is an x86 processor family, and the Thinvent Treo Mini PC is the closest Thinvent match with an Intel Core i5 processor. Several Thinvent Treo Mini PCs use Intel Core i5 chips, so the comparison below uses the Treo range from the 12th to the 14th generation.

Key differences
-
The Thinvent Treo Mini PC with Intel Core i5-1240P supports up to 64 GB of DDR4 RAM, and the Raspberry Pi's RAM maximum is not confirmed in our data.
-
Thinvent Treo Mini PCs ship with a 2 TB SSD as the standard storage option, with M.2 SSD slots for storage.
-
The Thinvent Treo Mini PC uses an x86 Intel Core processor, which the Raspberry Pi's ARM processor does not use.
-
The Thinvent Treo Mini PC has no 40-pin GPIO header. The Raspberry Pi has a GPIO header for hardware projects, and the Thinvent Treo Mini PC has USB ports for connecting peripherals instead.
-
The Treo Mini PC runs DOS as standard. Other operating systems are available on request.
Which one should you choose?
Choose the Raspberry Pi for GPIO-based electronics projects, low-power single-board builds, and the wide community of Raspberry Pi tutorials. Choose the Thinvent Treo Mini PC with an Intel Core i5 processor for x86 software, more RAM and faster storage, and workloads that need a full desktop-class processor.
