What is a processor PC?
A processor PC is a computer built around a specific processor, such as an Intel Core i7. The processor sets the core count, clock speed and cache size. These specifications decide how many tasks the computer can run at once and how quickly it completes them. Thinvent has mini PCs built around the Intel Core i7-1255U processor.
