Tried a couple of different movies.
Specs
Media Player HC v1.7.9
Intel HD Graphics drivers v10.18.15.4263
Windows 10 x64
Please note I'd read elsewhere that the HEVC decoder on MPC is about 50% more efficient than the one used by VLC (from versions a month ago) I don't know if that's still the case, but with software decoding there's clearly a difference between implementations that's worth knowing about.
The bitrate will vary during the course of the film much more so than with other codec so I've just listed file size and duration so you can work on a avg bitrate.
Man from Uncle 2015, 1080 HEVC Main 10 profile, constant 23.97fps w he-aac 48khz 6ch, 1.4GB for 1h 56m
Pretty stable @ 50-60% utilization across all 4 logical processes, no dropped frames, action sequences see it spike to about 75%
French Connection 1971 Remastered ,1080 HEVC Main 10 profile, constant 23.97fpc he-aac 48Khz, 1.2GB for 1h41m
Variable @ 65-75% utilization, action sequences see it spike to 85%,, content is still pretty grainy even after cleaning so I'm guessing the decoder has quite a bit of work to do versus modern clean content. 7 dropped frames from right at the beginning when windows update was doing something
Pulp Fiction 1994 Remastered, 1080 HEVC Main 10 profile, c 23.97 fps, he-aac 48khz 6ch, 1.7GB for 2h 34
Variable @ 60-75% no real spike during any fast movement scenes, no dropped frames.
The box becomes warm but not hot to touch after playing the movies.
I previously found an update for the Cherry Trail system drivers including GPU and a new official bios from the tronsmart forums.
Hope that helps.

Hey I'm knew here only because I've been struggling so much to get x265 10bit videos to work on this device. They work fine in Plex desktop program and MPC, but they stutter really really bad in the latest Kodi stable version. I've tried disabling hardware acceleration and I've tried it on. I've changed the auto processing to all the available options e.g. software etc.
Nothing I so can get x265 10bit videos to work smoothly in Kodi. Do you have a solution please? Thank you
