Low Power PCs from Thinvent
A low power PC uses a processor and components that draw less electrical power while still running full desktop and industrial software. Thinvent's Industrial PC IPC3 is built on the Intel Core i3-1215U processor, a 12th generation chip that suits this need.
The Intel Core i3-1215U has 6 cores, a maximum frequency of 4.4 GHz and a 10 MB cache. It is a low power mobile processor, so it runs within a modest power envelope. The IPC3 pairs it with 16 GB of DDR4 RAM and a 1 TB SSD, and it is powered by a 12V 7A adapter. This combination lets the IPC3 handle multitasking, data logging, machine control and visualization without a large power draw.
