General AML S802 Device release discussions

[gopichandpai]

Does this device get heated up?

How is wifi reception on this device as there is no external antenna?

Beelink M8

Thank you for your information and your great testing of Belink

After 2 days working non-stop, without any reboot, I finally powered off...

After around 2 hours I connected again, just waited 2-3 minutes and ran Antutu again:



I can run more times and results will be different any time...

No other difference than brand name and color.

Re: EM8 Amlogic S802 quad core 2Ghz + Octa core Mali 450: FIRST PRICE INFO!

Was it hard to put Android on it? Working without hiccups? Time to do a review?

Ps. Sry for off topic

Intel released an X86 version for it last week which installs with a Gummiboot bootloader so it dualboots Windows and Android. Very easy to install and super smooth and fast but still a bit buggy. There was only sound out over the 3.5mm jack and the YouTube app and certain video sites didnt work. I think it has codec issues because its X86.

Intel said its only a developer release so if some of the devs can tweak it, it would be really great. As i said, got 25000 (Celeron 2.14Ghz dual core/8gb RAM) on Antutu and was the smoothest Android experience I've seen from a TVbox/Nuc. Back to Windows now until its fully optimized though.

As an HTPC the NUC I have with Windows 8.1 is great, don't think it has passthrough? but I don't need it.

PS This is offtopic, is there a NUC forum in here?

I never sleep my friend (4:35 AM here now...), I felt hungry at night and never can live without check my email


I ran Antutu maybe 5-6 hours after connect the box, I'm sure if I run the benchmark just after start the Beelink the result will be better. In fact, the M8 is still running after I connected first time. I was focused on those "reboots" reported, so the box is playing video again and again at night and I download some apps and run them sometimes on day, after around 32hrs this Beelink did not reboot because hot or another reason.

You don't need to compare the Tronsmart with the Beelink, both are EXACTLY SAME BOARD (and also the new Measy). Just different name on the case. If one day one of you come to China I take you to see this in deep.

Love it, its so much better than any Android TV stick I've had. Its more expensive though.

Ah, how do you like the NUC thought about getting one for my son to tinker with?

Well,maybe Javimetal can run a new antutu test on his M8(guess he sleeps now)

Does passthrough only effect HDMI or will it still passthrough DTS on SPDIF/TOSLINK/optical?

My reciever is a older only has optical.

Antutu can't close running applications. This is why I always strip ROMs of all nonessentials before I benchmark different kernel configurations. Though antutu means close to nothing as I've seen devices with incredible antutu scores perform terribly with everyday use.

On my note 3 if I leave apps running I get 20-25 close everything 30,000 +

Ah OK, didn't realise it had that much effect.

I ran Antutu on Android installed on an X86 Intel NUC last night and got 25000 lol.

Yes but so many variables did they close recent apps, ram allocation ect.

Does Antutu not optimize RAM when it runs? I've never had that big a difference in Antutu scores on the same device before.

Thats true,maybe someone can test both devices under same conditions soon
