What is an Intel i5 Server?
An "Intel i5 Server" typically refers to a compact, energy-efficient server or industrial computing solution powered by an Intel Core i5 processor, rather than a traditional rack-mounted server. These systems leverage the balanced performance of Intel's i5 series—featuring multiple cores, high clock speeds, and Intel's hybrid architecture—to deliver robust computing for dedicated workloads. They are ideal for scenarios where space, power consumption, and cost are critical factors, but where the reliability and consistent performance of a server are still required. Thinvent specializes in manufacturing such reliable, compact computing solutions that serve as powerful nodes in distributed networks, edge computing setups, and dedicated application servers.
Key Specifications and Technical Details
Thinvent's i5-based servers and industrial PCs utilize modern Intel Core i5 processors from the 12th to 14th generations. Key specifications across the product range include:
| Feature | Typical Specification in Thinvent Products |
|---|---|
| Processor Cores | 10 to 12 cores (Performance & Efficient cores) |
| Max Turbo Frequency | Up to 5.0 GHz |
| Cache | 12 MB Intel Smart Cache |
| Memory (RAM) | 4GB to 64GB DDR4 (configurable) |
| Storage | 128GB to 1TB SSD (configurable) |
| Power | Low-voltage 12V DC input |
| Form Factors | Industrial PC (IPC5), Mini PC (Neo, Aero) |
These systems are designed for 24/7 operation and offer a high degree of customization in RAM, storage, connectivity (WiFi optional), and operating system (Windows 11 IoT/Pro, Ubuntu Linux, Thinux™, or without OS).
