The AAEON BOXER-8645AI is a fanless embedded AI system built around the NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin module, with an 8-core or 12-core Arm Cortex-A78AE CPU and up to 64 GB of LPDDR5 memory. The closest Thinvent match is the Thinvent Industrial PC IPC1 with Intel Celeron N5095A, a fanless industrial PC with up to 8 GB of DDR4 RAM and up to 2 TB of SSD storage. Both are built for fanless, industrial use, but they use different processor types for different workloads.
