That one I am waiting for, cause of the VP9 / HEVC-10 bit hw decoder.

As good as Kaby Lake, or Apollo Lake is just a budget chip version of former?

Does not matter at all. If it's as slow as Braswell, but does 4k@60 hevc 10 bit ... all fine. But yes it's the atom version of the nice new GPU with hevc-10 bit decoder. (Like BSW was the cheap atom for SKL).

Sometimes things happen like in Braswell: Broadwell GPU but HEVC unit from SKL.

This will do 10 bit 4K ? (hdr)
Also 3d?
And also hd audio?

So, Kaby Lake seems the one to look forward to for 10-bit 4K w3D + HD audio, carried over from present h/w.

Software support is what you need ... if it's only about the data sheet, buy some crappy xy box ...

Just no.
Skylake GPU=Gen9=Apollo Lake GPU=no 10b hevc/VP9, no HDMI 2.0.
No big announcement from Intel about this, so it won't be a surprise.
No software support can compensate for lack of hardware, but hibrid can be a temporary solution.
Wait for Kaby Lake.

What I meant above was: There is a whole lot Android hw out there ... which pretty impressive data sheets. But with current level of kodi support for it - it's just paper-weight.
Intelwise I wait for Broxton and this one I have most likely confused with the chip above. Broxton has hevc-10 bit support.
