Key differences
-
The Thinvent Micro 6 Pro uses the same Amlogic S905X3 chip as the Thinvent product line, and it has a 32 GB eMMC drive built in.
-
The Thinvent Micro 6 Pro is fanless and has an aluminium housing, rated for 0°C to 40°C operation.
-
The Raspberry Pi 5 supports up to 16 GB of RAM, four times the 4 GB in the Thinvent Micro 6 Pro.
-
The Raspberry Pi 5 has a faster Cortex-A76 processor, dual 4Kp60 display output and Gigabit Ethernet, where the Thinvent Micro 6 Pro has 100 Mbps Ethernet.
-
The Thinvent Micro 6 Pro has a built-in eMMC drive, where the Raspberry Pi 5 relies on a microSD card slot for storage.
Which one should you choose?
Choose the Raspberry Pi 5 for hobby, development and high-performance single-board projects that need more RAM, faster processing and dual 4K displays. Choose the Thinvent Micro 6 Pro Mini PC for a compact, fanless ARM system with built-in storage and Thinux™ Embedded Linux, suited to fixed installations.
