Key differences
-
The XRIG Obsidian Duo is the far larger machine: 256 cores and 512 threads against 6 cores on each Treo SKU, and up to 6.1 TB of RAM against a 64 GB maximum on the Treo.
-
Both Treo SKUs use AMD processors, as the Obsidian Duo does, so a buyer who works within the AMD platform can standardise on AMD across both.
-
The Treo gives the buyer a choice of operating system: Windows 11 Pro as standard, with Windows 11 IoT Value, Ubuntu Linux, Thinux™ Embedded Linux, Without OS or DOS also available. We could not confirm the Obsidian Duo's operating system.
-
The Treo has a defined desktop build: a 199.5 mm × 181.5 mm × 29.5 mm aluminium housing, 1000 Mbps Ethernet, Wi-Fi 5 dual band or a No WiFi option, and an operating range of 0°C to 40°C.
-
The Obsidian Duo is built for workloads that need hundreds of cores and terabytes of memory. The Treo is a 6-core desktop mini PC for everyday computing, office applications and general desktop work.
Which one should you choose?
Choose the XRIG Obsidian Duo when the workload needs hundreds of cores and memory measured in terabytes. Choose the Thinvent Treo Mini PC with AMD Ryzen 5 7430U or 7530U for desktop computing, office applications and general work where a compact 6-core mini PC is enough. Both Treo SKUs are available with Wi-Fi 5 dual band or without WiFi, and with a choice of operating systems.
