Key differences
-
The Jetson TX2 has a Pascal-family GPU and up to 8 GB of memory. The Thinvent Micro 6 Pro Mini PC has 4 GB of RAM and no GPU specification in the product details.
-
The Thinvent Micro 6 Pro Mini PC is a complete computer with a housing, HDMI output, USB ports, Ethernet and dual-antenna Wi-Fi, and ships with Thinux™ Embedded Linux. The Jetson TX2 is a module that needs a carrier board and an integrator to build a finished product.
-
The Thinvent Micro 6 Pro Mini PC uses the Amlogic S905X3 chip and is fanless, with a 7 W maximum power consumption.
-
The Jetson TX2 suits product designers who integrate compute into their own hardware. We could not confirm the Jetson TX2's storage, operating system or cooling options from the facts available to us.
Which one should you choose?
Choose the NVIDIA Jetson TX2 if you are designing a custom product around a System-on-Module and need the Pascal GPU and 8 GB of memory. Choose the Thinvent Micro 6 Pro Mini PC if you need a ready-to-use, fanless ARM mini PC with Thinux™ Embedded Linux, HDMI output and networking, and 4 GB of RAM is enough for the task.
