Hi,
there was a promo on similar TV Box with identical parameters available – 49.99 for Nexbox A3 including shipping. I bought one piece for that price, now is it 75.99.

Hi,
Is it expected that netflix/youtube @ 4k will (ever) be supported with this box (S912)?

Hi Cnx soft
I would like to know why the GT1 S912 (A53) gives 2,0ghz CPU, and KM8 with the same S912 (A53) only gives 1,5 GHz speed, has It to do with the firmware that makes overclocking??
I have read here in these reviews (good job CNX) that these new CPUs Amlogic do not exceed the 1,7 GHz, and to stay stable at that speed will have to have a good Firmware programming (SDK-kernel) and must have cooling plates. Is that why some Tvbox are much more expensive than others with the same chips.
Appreciate any info about it.

@JOAQUIM JOSE SILVA T ALMEIDA All the Amlogic S905(X) & S912 devices(S805, S812 probably also) run at 1.5Ghz. All of these tv boxes(S905X seems to be reported correct at 1.5Ghz) have false reporting by the kernel to benchmark apps as they can’t exceed 1.5Ghz in speed. Rockchip RK3368 devices only run at 1.2Ghz but have higher than 35000 Antutu scores than most new Amlogic devices that are reported to be ‘2Ghz’ so it doesn’t make sense. If the Amlogic devices indeed ran at 2Ghz their Antutu score should have been around 45000 or higher. Some tv boxes are more expensive… Read more »

@mo123
Re RK3368 (as found in geekbox) – its big cluster is stock-capped (devtree) at 1.51GHz and its LITTLE cluster – at 1.2GHz, but the big cluster gets throttled down to 1.296GHz whenever the LITTLE cluster exceeds 1.008GHz (rockchip_bl_set_safefreq() in the geekbox/rockchip kernel). That said, if the LITTLE cluster governor is set to something more speed-conservative, like ‘powersave’, the big cluster has no problem sustaining 1.51GHz, at least on a unit with proper cooling.

So I wouldn’t be so surprised if any non-heavily-multithreaded tests produce similar results across RK3368 and S905.

It can get a bit strange with box settings if you break the rules and experiment. warning you can mess up your box !

There are several free apps that allow changing setting on rooted boxes. Some setting give lower 3Dmark results but better audio or video on s802, s905, s805.
Results can be subjective, but AMLogic cheat on 3Dmark, so real world programe or game you intend to use are better.

Even a Android 4.4, s805, 1GB can play Riptide Renegade.

doesn’t look identical, the board is different (has optical out) and a wifi antenna on the side.

Please read http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=252916 before buying S912 just based on specs and price!

– Any AMLogic S912 box running Android Marshmallow 6.0, like the Beelink GT1 as an example. Don’t get hoodwinked by clever marketing and Tech specs people. Its been awarded a D by our very own @hdmkv. A D for Do Not Bother!
There is NO LibreELEC Kodi support for AML S912 devices either.

Erm igor2053 what problem are you tying to show?

I watched the video, had artifacts to start, but on my slow broadband, I had to buffer, and colours dark so I set my TV to movie mode.

Had a few frame drops but I watched it at @60Hz .
