The Thinvent IPC3 is an industrial PC that ships with Windows 11 on an Intel Core i3-1215U processor. Thinvent has the IPC3 with Windows 11 Professional, Windows 11 Pro, or Windows 11 IoT Value, so buyers can choose the edition that fits their application. Each configuration includes 16 GB of DDR4 RAM and a 1 TB SSD.
Windows 11 System Requirements
Microsoft lists the minimum hardware for Windows 11 as a 1 GHz or faster 64-bit processor with two or more cores, 4 GB of memory, and 64 GB of storage. The IPC3 exceeds each of these minimums. The Intel Core i3-1215U has 6 cores, runs at up to 4.4 GHz, and has a 10 MB cache. The 16 GB of memory and 1 TB SSD leave ample room for the operating system and industrial software.
