Do Thinvent Mini PCs Include an i7 10th Generation Processor?
No. The Thinvent range does not include an i7 10th Generation processor. Every sample product on this page uses the Intel N100 processor, which is a 12th generation N-Series chip. The N100 has 4 cores, a maximum frequency of 3.4 GHz and 6 MB of cache. Buyers who search for an i7 10th Generation PC are looking for a higher-performance processor than the N100 in some workloads, so the comparison below explains what the N100 is designed for.

Comparison With a 10th Generation Core i7
