STOP looking at tech Specs - you need kernel, driver and lots of software support before any box is even capable of running Kodi at all.
Tech specs alone are not going to magically make a device perform like a Kodi demon.
Do not confuse 10bit HEVC with Hi10P/10bit Anime. They are not the same.
At the budget end of the 4K HEVC (H.265) Kodi market the AML S905's have cleaned up, running a really good, well supported version of LibreELEC Kodi.
1GB AML S905X boxes running LibreELEC Kodi from eMMC Flash Storage are snappy little numbers - even for 4K HEVC streaming.
They play anything apart from that stupid, exotic Hi10P compression format, which no one supports.

Guys Kaby Lake Intel doesn't do 3D either unless it works under that special KODI built MVC. I didn't try that. I tried native and I tried PowerDVD 17 and I felt like my eyeballs were being ripped out of my sockets. The levels are all wrong. I don't know how else to describe it. Fortunately Amazon took my $700 worth of Beebox hardware back - my Qmedia Q5 Pro at $135 is a much more satisfying device than the current state of Kaby Lake.
