-
The Intel Core i5-1240P in the Treo has 12 cores, giving it more parallel processing capacity for multi-tasking workloads.

Which one should you choose?
Choose the Gateway desktop bundle if you want a ready-to-use Windows 11 system with a monitor and peripherals included. Choose a Thinvent Treo Mini PC if you need a compact system with higher memory and storage capacity, and you are supplying your own display, peripherals and operating system.
