Quad Core Thin Clients from Thinvent
A quad core thin client is a compact client device with a processor that has four CPU cores. Thinvent has two quad core platforms: the Micro 5R with an ARM Cortex A53 processor, and the Neo S with an Intel Celeron J1900 processor. Both run a full desktop or embedded operating system and connect to a server or cloud desktop session.
The Micro 5R uses an ARM Cortex A53 processor with four cores and a maximum frequency of 2.0 GHz. It includes 2 GB of onboard RAM and 16 GB of eMMC storage. It supports WiFi 6 and Bluetooth, and it has an HDMI 2.0 output and a speaker output. It runs Thinux, an embedded Linux operating system.
The Neo S uses an Intel Celeron J1900 processor with four cores, a maximum frequency of 2.4 GHz and 2 MB of cache. It is a 7th generation Celeron part. Neo S models include 4 GB or 8 GB of DDR3 RAM and SSD storage from 32 GB to 256 GB. The range does not include WiFi. Operating system options are Windows 11 Pro, Ubuntu Linux, Thinux Embedded Linux, DOS, or no operating system.
