The AMLogic S905(x) boxes like the Vero 4K, ODROID C2, MINIX U1 and WeTek's Hub / Play2 are far more powerful than the pretty old 1.0 GHz i.MX6 Quad - Cubox i4Pro.
The S905's have working features like:
- Properly synced 23.976, 29.97, 59.94 fps video output - no resampling of audio needed either.
- Full 8/10bit 1080p/4K HEVC Hardware decoding.
- HDMI 2.0.
- Proper Gigabit Ethernet.
- Hi quality hardware deinterlacing.
- Superior b/g/n or AC Dual Band WiFi
- Fast eMMC Flash storage.
- Faster Internal busses.
- Far better GPU/VPU and the list goes on and on...
That is before we get on to the excellent LibreELEC Kodi community support for such, (often cheap) AMLogic S905 hardware.
The ASUS Chromebox is in the price range of the Cubox i4Pro and for a 1080p / HD Audio - LibreELEC Kodi media player it would easily spank the Cubox i4Pro's ass.
Also from memory the i.MX6 devices are apparently not capable of 23.976 or 59.94Hz outputs, more iMX.6 Hardware limitations found HERE
