Amlogic S905L is a New Cheap SoC from Amlogic

Most of you know that in the market there are a lot of SoC (System on Chip) from Amlogic. The most popular chip, which could be found in TV boxes is Amlogic S905. Recently expanded range of devices for the TV boxes equipped with Amlogic S905X. Amlogic company decided to give manufacturers TV Boxes, cheaper solution based on the chipset S905X called Amlogic S905L. New Amlogic S905L will appear soon in the new TV boxes, and will be slim with several features, among others: without VP9 codec, camera interface, nor TS inputs.

Amlogic S905L specifications (based on S905L Quick Referent Manual):
