The client is Linux based (LX), comes with a ARM CPU and a\u00a0digital signal processor (DSP) aka System on Chip (SoC).<\/p>\n<p>The ARM based\u00a0&#8220;system on a chip&#8221; technology comes with the benefit to provide a good multimedia experience for a\u00a0low price. Of course you can&#8217;t compare it with a UD3\/UD5 in the overall performance, but for multimedia content it can beat other devices in the thin client entry level segment. SoC was\u00a0introduced by Citrix in 2011 and also Microsoft\u00a0Remote Desktop Services\u00a0have a clear advantage here.<\/p>\n<p>The device was already introduced at the CeBit 2012 (Europe), the Microsoft TechEd North America (US)\u00a0and the Citrix TechEx (Germany).<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/blog.cloud-client.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/igelarm.jpg\" title=\"IGEL ARM Client\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.cloud-client.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/igelarm.jpg\" alt=\"IGEL ARM Client\" height=\"434\" width=\"507\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Specs:<br \/>\nCPU: Texas Instruments DM8148 ARM 1GHz<br \/>\nDSP: 750 MHz<br \/>\nRAM: 1GB DDR3 800MHz<br \/>\nAudio: Texas Instruments TLV320AIC3104<br \/>\nNetwork: 10\/100\/1000 Mbps Ethernet<br \/>\nNetwork Chipset: Realtek RTL8211E<br \/>\nStorage: 2GB eMMC<br \/>\nDisplay: DVI-I Port<br \/>\nConnectors: 4 x USB 2.0, Audio In, Audio Out<br \/>\nAvailable Sessions (Beta Firmware): Citrix ICA (incl.
