No, we do not sell individual CPUs or processors. Thinvent specializes in manufacturing and selling complete, ready-to-use computing systems. This includes industrial computers, mini PCs, thin clients, and all-in-one PCs. These systems are fully integrated solutions that combine a processor, memory, storage, and I/O ports into a single, reliable unit designed for specific applications. Selling only the CPU would not provide the value, reliability, or support that our complete systems offer for professional and industrial environments.
Our systems are built around a wide range of processors from both Intel and ARM architectures. Key specifications vary by model and include different core counts (from 4 to 12 cores), clock speeds (up to 5.0 GHz), cache sizes, amounts of RAM (from 2GB to 64GB), and storage options (eMMC or SSD). Each configuration is carefully selected to balance performance, power efficiency, and thermal design, often featuring fanless cooling for silent and maintenance-free operation in demanding settings.
These complete computers are deployed in diverse use cases. Lower-power ARM-based thin clients are ideal for virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI), digital signage, and kiosks. Intel-based mini PCs and industrial computers power applications such as automation control, edge computing, retail POS systems, medical devices, and compact workstations. The benefit of purchasing a complete system is guaranteed compatibility, rigorous testing for stability, and long-term availability—critical factors for business and industrial deployments.
Comparing Processor Options in Complete Systems
