What is a T Series processor?
The "T" in Intel's processor naming marks a low-power, energy-efficient model. Intel's 12th Gen Core processors with the "U" suffix, such as the Core i7-1255U, are built for thin, fanless and compact systems. Thinvent builds industrial PCs around the Core i7-1255U, which is the processor family the Thinvent range covers on this page.
