There are lots of thumb drive-sized TV boxes/Mini PC this year.
From the first MK802 to the newest MK808, these thub driver-sized TV box has changed from Allwinner A10 chip to Rockchip RK3066 dual core chip.
And now, there are some chinese tablets has launched with the lastest quad core chip, like Zenithink C74,Ampe A10, so some TV BOX factory begin to prepare to put this Quad core chip on it.
Recently,we get a factory sample for the first quad core TV box,model: GK802 let’s check it first:
add the board photo –update on 26th Oct.
Compare with the other tv box, this one has the full metal body, has the regular HDMI port, USB port，use the 5V/2A charger, and support external micro sd card.
The basic system information is:
- CPU:Freescale i.MX6Q 1.2Ghz
- 1G/8G
- Build in bluetooth (factory said it will support, but in the sample device, the bluetooth can’t open)
- Android 4.0/4.1 optional (sample device is coming with ICS, factory said they will upgrade to Android 4.1 OS when it come to market)
- Wifi b/g/n
but when we tried to test with the antutu, the scrore is suprised us, one time we get 7681, and we test again, it is just 3840 🙁
and another annoying thing is the screen resolution, seems this sample device stuck the resolution on 1920*1032, i can’t changed it in setting menu.
We have reported all of the bugs to factory,and we hope they can fix those problems.
Seems the sample device we get still have some bugs, but it’s glad to see that there are factory working on this quad core tv box.
Hope those quad core tv box can be finished before christmas, so our customer can enjoy it.
