The Raspberry Pi is a series of small single-board computers developed in the United Kingdom by the Raspberry Pi Foundation with Broadcom. The Thinvent Micro 6 Pro Mini PC is the closest Thinvent match: it uses the same ARM Cortex-A55 processor family as the Raspberry Pi's ARM processors, and it is a fanless mini PC with a 4-core ARM processor, 4 GB RAM and 32 GB storage.
