The Dell latest CPU query names a brand rather than one product, and the facts we could confirm describe Intel Core processors used across Dell laptops and desktops. The Thinvent Treo Mini PC range is the closest alternative: it is built around Intel Core i3, i5 and Ultra 5 processors, and also has AMD Ryzen 5 processors, with up to 64 GB RAM and up to 2 TB SSD.
