I was planing to upgrade my Raspberry PI 1.gen with something that have more horses, so i was planing to buy android box with s905x or 912 soc but then i realize that this boxes don't support drm content (netflix 1080+ and so on), so insted i then shift my focus on windows 60-70 usd boxes with (z8300 soc) since this run windows i can have this drm content with no problem but this soc dont support 10bit havc. So i looking forward to this new chip in order to have hardware support for 10bit video

Yeah. HEVC-10 bit needs to be done. Let's see when it is available.
First decide what functions / features you expect from a system. Then decide for the hardware. Don't waste your money on crap.

Does anyone knows if this SoC will offer HD Audio passthrough in Win10 ?
I have a Braswell mini-PC, and it lacks this feature (though it works in LibreElec).

Shame they haven't included a proper M.2 for a SSD, and get rid of the old legacy ports
