1. Overview of Intel CPU product line

People who have more contact with it will find that 70% of industrial computers are equipped with Core 6/7/8 generation CPUs, and SINSMART Technology has launched 13th generation Core industrial computers to keep up with the pace of the times;

There is a trend at present: the Core series is a medium-to-high performance product with a higher price, while the Celeron series is a relatively low-end product with extremely low power consumption and a lower price. Both have their own advantages, and users can choose different products to meet their needs;

2. Industrial computers are different from ordinary hosts in different usage scenarios

There are great differences between industrial computers and ordinary hosts. The former is used in the industrial field and focuses on safety, reliability, stability, and performance, while the latter is an ordinary host. It can be as good as it can be, and it can be directly equipped with the top configuration. However, no one will use ordinary hosts for 7*24h non-stop operation, and they will always be turned on and off. In some specific scenarios, industrial computers must be kept turned on at all times. If the machine crashes, the consequences will be disastrous. Therefore, as long as the performance can meet the application scenario requirements, it does not require a very high-performance processor.

3. Different CPU/machine manufacturing requirements

We can make an assumption that the price of industrial computers and ordinary hosts with the same performance will be very different because the manufacturing requirements of the two are different. Although they use the same Intel processor, the reason why the price of industrial computers is so high is not the CPU but whether the entire product has a strong stacking of materials and whether it can meet the needs of the industrial field, whether it has an IP65 protection level, whether it can operate in a wide temperature range, whether it has three-proof paint, etc., so these stacking materials will increase the price of industrial computers. If it meets the needs of customers, they will purchase it at any cost.

4. Different usage scenarios

Ordinary hosts only need to be assembled according to the instructions, and they can be perfectly lit as long as there is no problem with the quality control of the accessories. After the industrial computer is assembled, it needs to undergo rigorous testing such as wide temperature testing, performance pressure resistance testing, vibration testing, etc. Each test requires a lot of manual effort, so if you add manpower and material resources, the price will become expensive.
