Any 905X box running on 2.0 GHz?

[scooter2014]

You would believe android tv box manufacture? Silly they lie all the time roflmao... But 1.5 Proven long time ago by crédible people long before box manufactures started to admit it.

You will notice the android box sellers don't state it runs at 2 Ghz, they always write ''up to 2 ghz'' ie you don't get 2 ghz.

Believing some app reporting the box running 2 ghz is equal to believing in Santa Claus.

Scooter, I believe ODroid, who make legit boxes from scratch. They are the ones who found that the processors do not run at 2 gigs, and that the kernel ignores all calls above 1.5.

Re: No performance difference between 1.5, 1.75 & 2GHz

Please don't waste your valuable time.
All the Coretex-A53 based Amlogic SoCs have the same issue. S905, S905 Rev-C(S905H), S905X and even S912.
The kernel clock frequency 1.75 and 2Ghz do not exist in the BL3x blobs.
It must be Amlogic's fault. But we should detect it earlier in our internal development stage. Really sorry about that mistake.

We've been modifying/testing the BL3x code to find a maximum feasible/stable clocks like 1.53Ghz, 1.58Ghz, 1.61Ghz, 1.65Ghz, 1.68Ghz, 1.71Ghz, etc for a couple of weeks.
But 1.65Ghz seems to be the maximum one due to some power and heat issues. We will run the burnA53 on Ubuntu and the Stress app on Android with 10 set of C2 boards in this weekend (for 48 hours stability test) to make sure it.
Once we will have a test result, we will report it on this thread with update package for further sampling test in early next week.

If we disable two cores, the SoC can run up to 1.75Ghz probably. But we need further stability test too.
And yes. I fully agree most people don't like this approach.

Anyway, we know well 1.65Ghz or 1.75Ghz is still very far from the 2Ghz. So we will change the C2 specification in our home page next week as per the test result.
And we must consider some compensation for C2 users. But we need to check what we can do first.

Please accept my sincere apologies for the mistake and kindly understand our situation.

Well, there is a difference on same processor from different suppliers...
In attached photos (sorry, easier was to take photos then screenshots) there is a clear difference between processors on Beelink MXIII and Xiaomi Mi box (android TV edition). so, as it seems, Amlogic CAN produce S905X with 2.0GHz speed, however these processors are not sold to all producers....

as long as I get over 33,000 on antutu, I dont care if the cpu runs under 1ghz Im just saying, my stuff is reporting it at 2.16
