Thanks to the POSIFLEX GT series POS terminals, which feature top-notch processors, businesses no longer have to sacrifice the aesthetics and compactness of billing terminals for efficiency. The ideal POS hardware for restaurants and other fast-paced operations delivers:
Apart from its functionality, there are two other defining factors of the GT Series:
For example, the terminals have large, narrow-bezel displays that offer crisp, bright visuals.
In this blog, we will explore the following pointers about the POSIFLEX GT series:
Let’s dive in!
The POSIFLEX GT Series Windows-compatible POS hardware offers three best-in-class industrial-grade processors:
But what do these processor specifications mean? Let’s break these specifications down for laypersons. This step-by-step guide illustrates how our top-of-the-line POS terminal series transforms operations management!
Looking for the best POS system for restaurants and other busy business outlets you manage?
Multiple peripherals can be connected to the device at the same time via a variety of ports and expansion slots. Hence, the employees or the business owners operating the Point-of-Sale terminal can continue with their work uninterrupted. At the same time, the I/O on both sides of the POS hardware makes using peripherals convenient for both left- and right-handed users.
The GT Series Touch POS terminals pair well with secondary displays (often found in retail stores) and RA series side attachments, making the POS setup modular. The compact peripherals don’t just save space; they also help users carry out their work without having to lift bulky devices repeatedly. In other words, owing to the modularity and the ergonomic design of the Point-of-Sale terminals, users can execute their tasks effortlessly for long hours.
Want the best POS systems for restaurants, retail outlets, or other industries? Your business decision-makers must consider the following pointers on Intel processors:
However, the rule of thumb is:
The faster a processor’s cycle, the more tasks it can achieve in a fixed interval.
What does Intel’s data on processors suggest?
Since the launch of the 8th Gen processors, the 11th Gen processors mark a significant leap. The 9th and 10th Gen processors were only marginally more efficient. The 11th Gen processor can clock up to 23% faster single-thread performance than the 8th Gen ones. Similarly, its multi-thread performance is 19% faster compared to its 8th Gen counterpart.
To understand further, let’s examine the processors’ maximum turbo speed or clock frequency.
The GT Series i3 POS models with the 11th Gen dual-core, four-thread processor operate at 4.1 GHz. In other words, each core takes approximately 0.24 nanoseconds to complete a full cycle. Thus, in an ideal scenario, the processor manages over 32 billion instructions/ second.
On the other hand, the maximum turbo speed of the quad-core i5 and i7 processors in POS devices from the GT series is 4.2 GHz and 4.7 GHz, respectively. Hence, at any point, both processors can support up to eight threads. However, each core in the i5 versions takes 0.23 nanoseconds/cycle, achieving more than 67 billion tasks/second. The cycle duration of the i7 devices is about 0.21 nanoseconds/cycle, roughly translating to about 75 billion instructions/sec.
Given the number of cores, threads, and the high clock speed of the 11th Gen Tiger Lake Processors, users can effortlessly complete an instruction and multitask.
For instance, while processing a transaction, this one-of-a-kind POS hardware for restaurants, supermarkets, and hotels, among other sectors, can perform:
This list of key operations management tasks is not exhaustive.
Moreover, by eliminating system lag, the low-latency industrial-grade Intel processors facilitate crowd management and good customer service by ensuring quick billing.
As the GT Series was built for dynamic business environments that require juggling several actions. The ISA (Instruction Set Architecture), thus, the processor, plays a vital role by supporting multiple inputs or outputs from the peripherals.
In terms of multi-tasking, the processor’s x86-64 ISA, which is a connection layer between hardware and software, ensures the processor’s efficiency remains uncompromised when the user multitasks using several peripherals. The peripherals are connected through the I/0 ports.
Our experts have worked for several years with businesses from different sectors. This wealth of experience has equipped them to develop some of the best POS systems for restaurants and other rapid business setups. Discover Key Details
Due to the ISA of the processor, the POS hardware for restaurants and various fast-moving operations is compatible with Windows Models such as Windows 10 and 11. These Operating Systems support offline operations, keeping the billing and customer service going even during a power or connectivity outage.
It is worth noting that the peripherals are connected to the device through the drives and ports and handled by the motherboard. However, the essential instructions for interpreting the input and output are offered by the ISA.
The processor specifications of the industry-best POS hardware for restaurants, supermarkets, retail chains, etc., by POSIFLEX become more powerful when combined with the terminal’s 64GB of DDR4 SO-DIMM memory. No matter how fast the processor’s clock speed is, the device’s RAM offers vital support to the processor in accessing large data sets instantly.
Crunching data becomes particularly challenging when the information is gathered from various applications and during software updates. Given that software updates are constantly needed to fix system glitches, the large RAM ensures the required memory overhead to leave room for background activities.
The dual M.2 SSDs expand storage, making it easier for the RAM to access and load data as well as swiftly boot software, thereby making quick transactions possible in high-demand business scenarios.
While caches, unlike the processor’s RAM and storage, are embedded in the processor, they shorten the time taken to process data. The Intel processors have L1, L2, and L3 caches, creating a hierarchy of CPU memory to optimise computing speed.
Finally, the efficiency of the 11th Gen Tiger Lake Processor is also responsible for the POS system’s slender and chic structure and its potential longevity. The processors consume less energy, thus swiftly cooling off without a fan. Apart from excessive heat exposure, the fan-free design also resists excessive airflow, thus pulling in less dust and grime—these three factors influence hardware integrity and performance.
The GT Series POS hardware is also available in Android versions, for which we have dedicated another blog.
