Here's how the two WOLF 3U VPX Thor boards differ on those three attributes:
| Attribute | WOLF-16T1 (VPX3U-THOR-SBC) | WOLF-16T9 (VPX3U-THOR-RD) |
|---|---|---|
| Max Ethernet speed | 25GbE | 10GbE |
| Max PCIe generation | Gen 4 | Gen 5 |
| Weight | 1500 g | 1000 g |
- Ethernet: The SBC (WOLF-16T1) supports up to 25GbE, while the rapid development board (WOLF-16T9) tops out at 10GbE. wolfadvanc... +1wolfadvancedtechnology.com ↗“io.max_ethernet_speed=25GbE”wolfadvancedtechnology.com ↗“io.max_ethernet_speed=10GbE”
- PCIe: The SBC uses a PCIe Gen4 switch, whereas the RD board offers PCIe Gen5 x4. - Weight: The SBC is heavier at 1500 g, compared to 1000 g for the RD board. wolfadvanc... +1wolfadvancedtechnology.com ↗“mechanical.weight_g=1500 g”wolfadvancedtechnology.com ↗“mechanical.weight_g=1000 g” wolfadvanc... +1wolfadvancedtechnology.com ↗“io.pcie_max_gen=4”wolfadvancedtechnology.com ↗“io.pcie_max_gen=5”
In short: the WOLF-16T1 SBC has the faster Ethernet (25GbE vs 10GbE) but the older PCIe generation (Gen4 vs Gen5) and is 500 g heavier than the WOLF-16T9 RD board.
