G7 Max Streaming TV Box with S905X4 SoC Details
The G7 Max boasts impressive specifications, making it a suitable choice as a 4K multimedia player, perfect for running popular media centers like KODI or CoreELEC, as well as gaming and emulators.
At the heart of this TV box lies the Amlogic S905X4 SoC, a Quad-Core chip manufactured using a 12nm process. The low-power ARM Cortex-A55 processors, with theoretical speeds of up to 2GHz, deliver efficient and smooth performance. Complementing the processor is the Mali-G31 MP2 GPU, offering excellent graphics capabilities. The VPU supports 4K@60fps, AV1, HDR, HDR10, and HLG, ensuring stunning visuals on your TV screen.
Despite the G7 Max being DRM Widevine L1 certified, its “certification” only appears to apply to Google’s Android TV 11 OS. It was the same with MECOOL’s certified streaming boxes, for example, MECOOL KM7 which did not support Netflix 4K. We do not rule out that we may be wrong.
