Comparing Desktop Computers
A desktop computer comparison looks at processor, memory, storage, operating system and form factor. Thinvent has mini PCs, industrial PCs and thin clients built on Intel and AMD processors, plus one ARM thin client. The right choice depends on the workload, the space available and the environment where the computer runs.
Processor generation and core count set the performance level. The Thinvent Industrial PC IPC5 with Intel Core i5-1240P has 12 cores and runs up to 4.4 GHz. The Thinvent Industrial PC IPC5 with Intel Core i7-1255U has 10 cores and runs up to 4.7 GHz. The Thinvent Aero Mini PC with Intel Core 5 120U has 10 cores and runs up to 5.0 GHz. The Thinvent Treo Mini PC with AMD Ryzen 5 7430U has 6 cores and runs up to 4.3 GHz. The Thinvent Aero Mini PC and Thinvent Industrial PC IPC3 both use the Intel Core i3-1215U with 6 cores.
Memory and storage affect multitasking and data capacity. Configurations range from 2 GB to 32 GB of RAM and from 16 GB eMMC to 1 TB SSD. The Thinvent Treo Mini PC with Intel N5095A has 4 GB RAM and 128 GB SSD. The Thinvent Industrial PC IPC5 with Intel Core i7-1255U has 32 GB RAM and 1 TB SSD.
Connectivity and power differ by model. Some models include Dual Band WiFi, others have no WiFi. Power adapters range from 5V 2A on the thin client to 19V 3A and 12V 7A on the mini and industrial PCs.
