Actually, the NEO X6 can be considered as an entry level media player that can satisfy some special needs, which even some high end models can\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p>Compared to Amlogic S802 CPU, the S805 is a cost-saving solution. The cortex A5 chipset is apparently not as powerful as the cortex A9. It does not support 4K output. However, the S802 support H.265\/HEVC hardware decoding. If you understand what this means, you could expect wonderful experience when you watch movies at home via the MINIX NEO X6. You can spend less while getting better experience if you are a movie fan.<\/p>\n<p>Here is a comparison table of the <a title=\"MINIX NEO X6\" href=\"http:\/\/www.geekbuying.com\/item\/MINIX-NEO-X6-Amlogic-S805-Quad-Core-1-5GHz-Android-4-4-Mini-TV-Box-HDMI-HDD-Player-1G-8G-WIFI-XBMC-H-265-Bluetooth-4-0---Black-333264.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MINIX NEO X6<\/a>, NEO X7 MINI and NEO X8:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blogimage.geekbuying.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/minix-models-comparison-31.png\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-14659\" src=\"https:\/\/blogimage.geekbuying.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/minix-models-comparison-31-1200x473.png\" alt=\"minix models comparison-3\" width=\"837\" height=\"329\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogimage.geekbuying.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/minix-models-comparison-31-1200x473.png 1200w, https:\/\/blogimage.geekbuying.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/minix-models-comparison-31-300x118.png 300w, https:\/\/blogimage.geekbuying.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/minix-models-comparison-31-600x236.png 600w, https:\/\/blogimage.geekbuying.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/minix-models-comparison-31-837x329.png 837w, https:\/\/blogimage.geekbuying.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/minix-models-comparison-31-667x262.png 667w, https:\/\/blogimage.geekbuying.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/minix-models-comparison-31-272x107.png 272w, https:\/\/blogimage.geekbuying.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/minix-models-comparison-31-544x214.png 544w, https:\/\/blogimage.geekbuying.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/minix-models-comparison-31-750x295.png 750w, https:\/\/blogimage.geekbuying.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/minix-models-comparison-31.png 1243w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 837px) 100vw, 837px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Below is another table explaining the difference between Amlogic S805, Amlogic S802 and MX chipsets:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blogimage.geekbuying.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/S8051.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-14647\" src=\"https:\/\/blogimage.geekbuying.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/S8051.jpg\" alt=\"S805\" width=\"623\" height=\"612\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogimage.geekbuying.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/S8051.jpg 623w, https:\/\/blogimage.geekbuying.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/S8051-300x294.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogimage.geekbuying.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/S8051-600x589.jpg 600w, https:\/\/blogimage.geekbuying.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/S8051-272x267.jpg 272w, https:\/\/blogimage.geekbuying.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/S8051-544x534.jpg 544w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 623px) 100vw, 623px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Basically it seems the Amlogic intends to use this chipset to beat the Allwinner A20.
