Allwinner a80 the RK3288 killer?

[frhdt007]

Tronsmart Draco Meta review

OK with some bugs
Pros
1) strong wifi
2) Skype works well with Logitech web cam

Cons
1) VERY SMALL FONT and ICONS, not pleasant to use, even if you choose “HUGE”
2) Hangout crashed when you start any session
3) Miracast does NOT work
4) “Google TV Remote” app does not recognize this device
5) Very sluggish DLNA, or Airplay. I use FLIPPS HD on my tablet to start a HD Movie (WIBI HD) on this device, not pleasant at all.
6) With Chrome web browser, I tried to download a movie from disk.yandex.com, it’s very slow by clicking the download button from the web page. I get a much better speed when downloading the same movie from Windows 7. When I download any video from OPERA browser by clicking the download button from the app, the speed is very fast!!!! Something wrong somewhere ????

Conclusion
I use this device mostly to watch movies from internet. So far, with this OS, I don’t get anything better than UG007B (RK3188).
I trusted the hardware spec, and I’m wrong in this case!!!!

Hi all, new joiner here. As i am trying to get a new tv box, I been going throughout the forum on all various section pertaining to tv box and have come to the conclusion that rockchip rk3288 or the alllwinner a80 would be the best option to go for at this point in time. I am leaning towards a80 but still have some questions:

1) looking at the raw antutu score, a80 is much higher than rk3288, but does this score really translate to actual performance?
2) would a80 be customizable? i saw that there are custom roms for specific box of rk3288 models but a80 is just too new that i don't see any at the moment?
3) xbmc and video support - i assume they both have about the same specs and results more or less in terms of support of file types/extension etc?
4) would the ram make any diff to the performance? ie. 4gb ram rk3288 better than 2gb ram a80?
5) should i still got for a80 that seems to be future-proof (at least for a while longer) or to go to the more stable and proven rk3288?

sorry if some of these have been answered but i already tried my best to read all the discussion possible that i can find.

Thanks all.

According to cnxsoft, Amlogic S812 should be better
