VORKE Z2 Android 7.1.1 RK3328 4K HDR TV Box - Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers

Android 7.1.1
Android 7.1.1 is designed to deliver even more ways to make Android your own. An update to Nougat, Android 7.1.1 showcases more ways to express yourself, along with a handful of other sweet features and improvements to stability as well as performance.
Rockchip RK3328
As a 4K HDR TV Box solution, RK3328 boasts higher integrity and additional cost and performance advantages over its predecessors. It integrates a 64bit A53 Quad core design, 1.5GHz frequency, Mali-450MP2 GPU, supporting USB 3.0 and Ethernet to meet the most demanding of users for daily use.
2GB DDRIII + 16GB EMMC
With 2GB DDRIII RAM and 16GB eMMC ROM stuffed inside, Vorke Z2 brags higher data rate transfer speed over others of the kind. The extra 32GB extension by TF card helps a great deal in Multitasking and gaming as well.
AC WIFI + 100M Ethernet
For connectivity, Vorke z2 brings together the 802.11 b/g/n/ac, 2.4G/5.8G dual band and 100M Ethernet in an attempt to transmit higher amounts of data in a less congested fashion.
4K 60FPS Decocing for Ultimate Visual Experience
Vorke Z2 spoils users with the highest video output quality we have on earth, 4K UHD which quadruples the 1080p. While users, in return, get more vivid and detailed visual experience. It goes without saying that, Vorke Z2 is the ideal choice thus far for Android TV boxes, on par with the latest advances in Smart TV technology.
The Next Big Shift Brought by HDR
HDR is going to change the way you watch TV. While 4K might be stealing a lot of the limelight because it offers more pixels, HDR is really the change you've been waiting for. And this is where VORKE Z2 rocks. Giving credit to the RK3328 SoC, it does both - 4K & HDR.
VP9 Decoding Saves Rebuffering
VP9 is the most efficient video compression codec in widespread use today. It bumps us one notch closer to our goal of instant, high-quality, buffer-free videos. Still, it has benefits for people with limited bandwidth or expensive data plans by cutting bitrates in as much as half to avoid increased rebuffering.
Keep Updated Via OTA
On top of all the others, the availability of OTA update is absolutely a welcoming addition. Users will be able to enjoy the best performance and functionalities with Up-to-date system and apps at one-click.

BadaBoom2 - Convert Vids at 2x-5x Speed

Yes, this is yet another video conversion thread. Yea!
I just installed Badaboom2 and it seems to work very well for the Xoom. The original version of Badaboom was pretty buggy, but 2 seems to be much better.
Config is super simple; drop in a video file, select the Xoom under Output, click start.
Most importantly, it also supports Nvidia CUDA. If you have a compatible video card, it will offload most of the conversion overhead to the GPU.
I just converted a 5000 kbps MPEG4 video. Look at the CPU\GPU utilization and the frame rate.

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",

}
The frame rate is 27.xxx per second, but lets say it is 30.
155 FPS / 30 = @5x speed
Since most of the heavy lifting was pushed to the GPU, the machine was usable while converting. I wouldn't notice it was even running unless I looked at the GPU consumption in Aida64. That said, I wouldn't try to play Crysis 2 MP demo while converting either
Speaking of silly, here's my setup:
CPU: Intel 2600K [email protected] MHz
MB: Asus Maximus Extreme 4
Vid: Nvidia 580 GTX
OS Disk: 4x 60GB OCZ Vertex2 SSD's, RAID0 (Intel RAID)
Storage: 4x 2TB Seagate Barracuda's, RAID5 (Areca 1210 RAID Controller)
BR Drive: LG GGW-H20L
I also tried converting a M2TS file directly from a Blueray disc.
That's 2x. I copied the file off the disc to the OS drive and saw the same performance, so there isn't any gain moving the file to a faster medium. I use AnyDVD HD for ripping, if you are curious.
Note: some BR movies are spread across multiple files. Badaboom doesn't join them or allow you to convert an entire blueray movie. It may do DVD's but I haven't tried.
The default Xoom settings are: 1280x720 at 2500 kbps, 23 FPS and 125 kbps stereo audio. You can change this if you want, but the default works for me. The playback is completely smooth and very sharp.
I'm going to do more conversions before buying Badaboom, but I'm pretty happy right now. You can convert 30 videos on the demo, no watermarks.
The only complaint I have with that software is that it produces HUGE output files no matter what compared to solutions like handbrake.
looks quick but wow if I'm looking at it right 5 gigs for 1 movie is insane. I have 18 movies and still have 8gb of space and that's with apps,pics,and music too
What was the size of the input file compared to the output file? What does it rip the file into? [email protected] I'm guessing??
The defaults look to be baseline with the level set at auto. Not sure which it chooses in this mode, but you can set it from 1 thru 4.1
Can someone just release a batch program? I just want to convert all my High Profiles to identical Main Profiles. If I had an app that could do that I would be sitting pretty.

Oppo Find X5 Pro Specs Roundup: Here's What an Ultra Flagship Looks Like

The specs that caught my attention when I saw the new #oppoFindX5Pro for the first time. So, I designed some graphic works exclusively for @OPPO Ambassador Team ft the all new #OPPOFindx5series. I'll be sharing my thoughts one by one in detail very soon. So, Stay Tuned with the thread..!

A Pro Grade Camera Setup:
Oppo X5 Pro features a Triple Camera setup on its back, a 50 MP Wide angle lens with f/1.7 aperture, a 50 MP Ultra-wide lens and also a 13 MP Telephoto lens. The 50 MP Wide angle lens also acts as a main shooter for taking amazing pictures.
The setup is also equipped with an impressive set of features like Hassleblad color calibration, 5-axis OIS and a dedicated NPU chip called MariSillicon X. Therefore, the hashtag (#Bringthelight) is quite apt for the device because it has certainly got what it takes to #Savethenight.
The Yin-Yang Color Schemes
There's a reason why white and black are considered the classics. When it comes to the looks, white and black won't go wrong any time. OPPO X5 Pro comes with these two impressive color schemes Ceramic Black and White. They look like Yin and Yang. The two complementary principles of Chinese philosophy. Both of these colors compliments each other and also compliments the looks and feel of the device.
Features Not One but Two Power Houses
Having a flagship processor seems like old school to me after seeing this phone. This phone has got not one but two flagship grade chipset units powering it. Oppo has recently unveiled Find X50 Pro, the next-gen smartphone range in their X-Series lineup. The model was equipped with the highest possible hardware specs right now. It has got the all-new Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset with the most powerful Adreno 730 GPU working under its good. Apart from carrying the most powerful CPU and GPU combos, this smartphones also got a new and improved NPU working under their hood. Oppo is calling it as MariSillicon X. To know more about it. You can check out this post.

OPPO Find X5 Pro Unboxing (OPPO Ambassador)

Here's a quick look at unboxing the OPPO Find X5 Pro and initial first impressions of this Snapdragon 8GEN1 flagship phone.

The phone comes with a Super VOOC 80W charger that in my tests will charge the Find X5 Pro to 100% in around 37 minutes from empty. We also get a TPU case in grey, sim tray eject tool, premium services card, and type-A to type-c USB cable.
The finish of the Find X5 Pro is superb, the ceramic back especially the form of the camera module looks fantastic to me one of the best camera modules of recent Android flagships.
The QHD+ LTPO2 screen is super bright over 1000 nits measured, it holds up well in direct sunlight and is very legible.
A quick test of a very demanding console & PC port Genshin Impact shows the SD8Gen1 performs well, but a dip in performance was quite noticeable after gaming for extended periods. The surface thermals remained under 43 degrees as the phone was throttled to keep the temperatures in check.
ColorOS 12.1 runs is fluid with no noticeable animation lags unlike some other Android 12 phones tested like the S22 Ultra (Exynos) or Xiaomi 12 Pro.
Initial first impressions:
Pros:
Very good build and finish with a sleek looking camera module
Great low light camera performance thanks to the Marisilicion NPU and colour profile from Hasselblad
Stunning QHD+ screen and accurate fingerprint reader
Fast stable UI with no noticeable animation lag
One of the best ultrawide cameras tested
Cons:
Video audio is quite poor, OPPO needs to address this. Low bitrate of 96kbps
It's expensive at around 1300 euros here in Spain
Shutter lag in some scenarios means moving objects will be blurred

Zenith's (ongoing) PC build

My PC was originally built in 2015 and I've upgraded it a number of times over the years so that there is nothing left I can really upgrade on it any more.

H/sink: Cryorig H7
RAM: 32GB (4x8GB) Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4-2400

Monitor: Benq 28" 4K/60
It's currently more than adequate for playing the games I'm interested in (No Man's Sky, Death Stranding, Cyberpunk 2077, AC Valhalla, Star Citizen).
Planned upgrade will have to be generational, so that means motherboard, CPU, RAM.
I've not decided on AMD vs Intel, but I will definitely by changing the RAM for RGB versions to go with new RGB fans. Will probably get RGB cables for the gfx card at some point.
looks really good, are you able to game at 4k?
More than half my games, yes I can. It may not be 4k/60 but I'm happy with 45-50fps. There are some where I have to make a sacrifice and drop the rez to 1440 and use DLSS to upscale. Cyberpunk 2077 is the example there.
Star Citizen is an odd one because the framerate/smoothness seems to be related to RAM rather than graphic card.
That's really good, how does the 7700k hold up? You have a very powerful GPU relative to your CPU
No problems. It maxes out around 72C under 100% load and that's with the Cryorig H7 air cooled heatsink on stock fan curve. In terms of seeing performance limited in games, I'm not sure that it is. Running some graphically intensive games at 4k gives me a solid 60 fps (my monitor's refresh rate), others run at 4k with a slight reduction in max fps but still perfectly acceptable 45-50 fps. Dropping the rez to 1440 in those examples locks me at 60fps without ever dropping.
Some games though are simply too hard and Cyberpunk 2077 is the one that shows it most. 4k gives 20-30fps with a lot of variability. Dropping the rez to 1440 improves it to 50-60fps. Turning on DLSS (balanced) locks the fps hard at 60 without looking smoothed over at all. I know I could turn off vsync to get the "true" fps, but I can't stand the tearing with vsync turned off.
The only real upgrade left to this current system is to delid the CPU, reapply the TIM with liquid metal, maybe change the heatsink for an AIO water cooled system and then start experimenting with slowly overclocking. Depending on the luck of the silicon lottery, it is possible to get stable 5.0GHz out of the 7700K.
The alternative is to go for that generation upgrade of CPU & motherboard and maybe RAM.
