The HP t530 Thin Client is a thin client with an AMD GX-215JJ dual-core processor, support for up to 16 GB of DDR4 RAM and two DisplayPort 1.2 outputs. The closest Thinvent match is the Thinvent Micro 5R Thin Client, which is also a fanless thin client with two HDMI-style display options and a Wi-Fi 6 wireless option. Its processor is an ARM Cortex A53 rather than an AMD chip, so the two products differ mainly in processor type and maximum memory.
