[ANNOUNCEMENT] Remix IO Facebook Event October 20, 2016 @11:00pm (GMT+8)

[RemixOS_Jason]

Hey XDA Remixers!

We warmly invite you to the Remix IO Facebook event going on tomorrow, Thursday October 20 @11pm (GMT+8). I'd like to tell you now what Remix IO is all about, but then I wouldn't be doing my job.

I will drop a hint here that there will be something nice for developers in the event/campaign.

Here's the link to the Remix IO Facebook event: https://www.facebook.com/events/1781404908740204/

If you aren't on Facebook for any reason, don't worry as I will be sharing another link with you guys around 11pm (GMT+8) as well. So, no one who is interested will be missing out.

Thanks!

yeah new toys

heh new remix os device.

Does anyone see where it says what chip they are using for this. I would HATE to get this like the Mini and be stuck on a device that will NOT get updates in the future. 2GB is also very much on the low side for a console you would like to run games on.

Exactly. The 2GB RAM can still be tolerated when the Remix Mini was first dreamed up last year (2015) but a BIG no-no for a 2017 model. Not with this NEW Remix IO.

Speaking of performance, I wonder why didn't they go for some SoC that has at least the ARM Cortex-A72 cluster in addition to the low power Cortex-A53 cluster to improve performance.

Definitely not the best chipset.

Possibly for cost but I have been reading where they may address the RAM. I dont know if that will make it to the Kickstarter buyers.

So what chip would u like to see?

Your Jide Ambassador is here!!!

x86 support

Does the Remix team plan on releasing this software version for x86 like the current Remix OS? It would be awesome to load on my old chromebox instead of openelec.

Chip with a least a pair of Big-Core (ARM Cortex-A72 or something along that line) in addition to the cluster of Small-Core (ARM Cortex-A53) from a manufacturer that is better in term of Android support than the one in Remix Mini who refused to cooperate with Remix on the Marshmallow upgrade. We don't want the same disaster, do we?

intel atom with uefi?

intel atom with uefi?

If it is at least comparable to ARM Cortex-A72 + A53 combo in performance and power consumption as well as cost, why not.

Well Intel tryed to build some atom phones with the asus zenphone 2 so I'm not sure but it can be comparable. Anyway low consumption and big little is useless with a tv box without battery...no limit in power here. It use a wall socket after all.
But I can imagine a nice tv box with a cherry trail atom.
And the uefi part mean: you can mod a system yourself.

To be fair to ARM and its big.LITTLE™, low power is not useless. All things being equal, low power can also be translated into less heat. I'm sure you know what less heat means to longevity, packaging etc of a product.

well no mostly because I live near a desert area so all those passive TV boxes overheat here what ever CPU they have. I know a fan add a failure point but a fan is just needed here.
most computer we build here have oversized coolers.
so this is why I am interested with the Io having a fan.
and to me usability comes first with performance.
this is not a phone after all
again

I have pledge remix io+ but please guys let us ask Jide to include a microphone in the controller so that we can do voice search over YouTube and use Google now voice search. I sent them an email asking this. Please guys send an email too. This is a function that needs to be implemented. Put a microphone in the controller like nvidia shield

 

[JFK1975]

Why a vga port for this great device?
