Rockchip RK3399 and the Thinvent Range
The Rockchip RK3399 is an ARM-based system-on-chip. It combines two Cortex-A72 cores and four Cortex-A53 cores in a big.LITTLE layout. The Thinvent range does not include the RK3399. Its processor is the Intel Core i3-1215U, which is an x86 chip, so the RK3399 and the Thinvent products use different instruction sets and are not interchangeable.
Key Specifications of the Intel Core i3-1215U
The Intel Core i3-1215U is a 12th generation processor. It has 6 cores, a maximum frequency of 4.4 GHz and 10 MB of cache. The Thinvent IPC3 systems pair this processor with 16 GB of DDR4 RAM and a 1 TB SSD. The systems use a 12V 10A adapter.
