Tronsmart announced it will release an Intel Cherry Trail (x5-Z8300) based TV box, the Tronsmart Ara X5, in August.
Specs:
Intel ARK - x5-Z8300 vs N3150: The x5-Z8300 has slightly lower clocks than N3150 and it's limited to 2GB RAM.
As far as I can tell this is the first Cherry Trail TV Box being announced and it's quite exciting as the Cherry Trail is Braswell's brother (they share the same architecture) and features the same GPU (Cherry View). So for Kodi, Cherry Trail should have similar capabilities as Braswell with a smaller price tag, in other words more bang for buck. Can't wait to read a review covering Kodi (preferably using OpenELEC).
