$25 Wechip X88 Pro TV Box Features Low Cost Rockchip RK3318 Processor

With RK3328 SoC, Rockchip already has a quad-core Arm Cortex-A53 processor with an Arm Mali-450MP GPU, more exactly a Mali-450MP2 GPU. However, that GPU was found to underperform the penta-core Mali-450MP3 GPU handling graphics in Amlogic S905X processor.

If that listing on Aliexpress is correct, it appears the company has made another quad-core Cortex-A53 processor with the same penta-core Mali-450MP3 GPU as found in the Amlogic processor. [Update: The description is wrong, and RK3318 GPU is not faster, so it must be the same (TBC). RK3318 is just a cost-down version of RK3328, but details have not been provided]

RK3318 TV Box Android 9

The box runs Android 9.0, and ships with a remote control, a power supply, an HDMI cable, and a user manual. Now the features of Rockchip RK3318 look exactly the same as RK3328 except for the faster GPU which may actually be quad-core or penta-core depending where you look in the description.  At first, I thought it was a mistake, but all photos are shown with RK3318, and I could also find the box on WeChip (Shenzhen JoinWe Electronics Co)’s Alibaba store. So I guess that’s real after all.

WeChip X88 Pro sells for as low as $25.59 for the 2GB/16GB version, while the 4G/32GB model goes for $34.99, and the 4GB/64GB variant for $37.99. All prices include free shipping, and those are pre-orders with shipping expected for May 25.

Who knows yet if RK3318 is true, however Wechip on Aliexpress and on their website often do butchered specification listings. They have one on Aliexpress claiming the the R69 Allwinner H3 has a Mali 450MP2 and runs at 1.5GHz.
If CNX allows it, here is the link to the misleading sale advert. To show what I state is true.

Best waiting for independent reviews from people not given free samples for false positive reviews. Reviews by hardware experienced people. IMOO.
