Octa Core

[odrewjr]

Fantastic news!! When you have played with it for awhile, would love to see a thorough rewiew.

Thanks

Also, maybe you could include the devices that you have, in your "signature" so we can get an idea of what you are comparing it to.

Hope I am not being pushy, but could you also include a link for where you purchased it, and how long it took to arrive and shipping method.

Thanks again.

I have a few devices, mx2 midnight, ut1,m8 square box, Tronsmart vegas802,Tronsmart r28,Ugoos ut3, HPH rk3288 and the Tronsmart octa core. I purchased from Geekbuying 5 days ago. This device came with a standard android launcher but I like the HPH launcher so I added it to the device early on . The wifi would not work in the begining so I reset the device and now wifi is working . All my apps for streaming and Netfix are working for me.

Wow, that is a good base to make your evaluation on. So, does this box stand head and shoulders above the rest of them?

I am drooling.

As you know the xbmc ( kodi ) play on the rk3288 has been less than desirable because of skips ans shuttering. I have not experience this yet on this device. That could be a real plus for this box. All my recent devices had problems in the begining until those on this forum found ways to correct the problem. I could not say the box is head and shoulders above the rest but after a little more time , maybe. Finless has a box coming to him as I read on the forum.you know what he can do with these devices. So maybe !

I read online that A80 can address upto 8GB. Wonder why there isn't any 8GB model from any OEMs so far..

can all eight cores be utilized at once?

can all eight cores be utilized at once?

Here you e.g. see it running at 6 cores

Plex

Now that Ubuntu will be made available on Draco, I wonder how it would be running Plex Media Server ( one stream at least ) on Draco. If it works well besides XBMC, Draco will be a fantastic HTPC box to have.
