This version of the REV4 is built on the new Catapult CPU. This CPU started to replace Catson at the end of 2024.
The only visual difference is the KIT number format printed on the box.
Catson platform: KIT is 9 numbers.
Catapult platform: KIT is 9 numbers + 3 additional symbols, including letters.
REV4 - EnterpriseThis version of the REV4 is similar to the previous and could be any revision.
The only difference is that the power supply is similar to the HP version, and there is no router in the box. Additionally, the box contains different mounts.
