The Radxa ROCK 4C+ is an ARM single board computer built on the Rockchip RK3399-T SoC, with a dual-core Cortex-A72 and quad-core Cortex-A53 processor, two micro-HDMI outputs and one Gigabit Ethernet port. The closest Thinvent match is the Thinvent Micro 6 Pro Mini PC, which uses an ARM Cortex-A55 processor from the Amlogic S905X3 chip, with 4 GB RAM, 32 GB storage and Thinux™ Embedded Linux.

Key differences
-
The ROCK 4C+ has 6 cores against 4 cores in the Micro 6 Pro, and it can drive two displays against one HDMI output.
-
The Micro 6 Pro is a finished mini PC with a housing, a fanless cooling design, dual-antenna dual-band Wi-Fi and a stated 4 GB RAM and 32 GB storage.
-
The Micro 6 Pro uses the Amlogic S905X3 chip, the same chip family as some other ARM boards in this class, and ships with Thinux™ Embedded Linux.
-
We could not confirm the ROCK 4C+'s RAM, storage, operating system or wireless options, so those points are left out of this comparison.
Which one should you choose?
Choose the Radxa ROCK 4C+ if you want a bare single board computer with six cores and two display outputs for custom development. Choose the Thinvent Micro 6 Pro Mini PC if you want a ready-to-use, fanless mini PC with a housing, Wi-Fi and a pre-installed Thinux™ Embedded Linux system.
