As Moore's Law predicts, the development of various hardware devices is very fast. The author of the HDTV channel also witnessed the development of the box from the initial single-core to the later dual-core, quad-core and now emerging eight-core products. The performance of the box is also rapidly optimized and increased. No, three months ago, the author reviewed the quad-core version of the Infinity i8. The evaluation room recently received an eight-core version of Infinik sent by Infinik. I8, not only has the hardware been upgraded, the software also has functional improvements.
Many people may ask, how much change can the eight-core bring? For a box in a home living room entertainment terminal, with the high quality of multimedia resources and the extensive expansion of functions, it is particularly important to ensure that the system can work properly, ensure smooth operation, and improve the performance of the processor. Therefore, In order to have a better user experience, hardware upgrades are very important. Take this time received the Infiniti i8 eight nuclear version, it will increase the Blu-ray original playback so high on the function, with a few hundred boxes instead of Blu-ray player to play the original Blu-ray disk resources, this is In the past, I did not want to think about anything, but the development of science and technology turned it into a reality.
The Infinity i8 that was sent for evaluation was a high version of the i8. It uses the H8 eight-core CPU of Quanzhi, which greatly improved the performance compared to the original quad-core version of the A31S. The graphics card continues to be used. The SGX 544MP eight-core graphics accelerator has a common configuration of 1GB of memory and 8GB of flash memory. This ensures smooth running of large-scale 3D video games or 4K ultra-high-definition video decoding. The system uses the Aliyun OS, which has a powerful TV shopping function and is more mature in multi-screen interactive functions. The quality of Ali is naturally reassuring. Sources of film and television resources come from the number one TV number of resource providers. Introduced so much, let us immediately enter the next evaluation to see how this eight-core Infinity i8 can perform.
Infinity i8: White teeth color, vertical and horizontal
Infiniti i8 eight nuclear version uses a very simple and refreshing ivory white color scheme, the body with white as the main color, in the eight-core version of the Infik i8 around the body with a transparent plastic belt, will be a printed There is a LOGO pattern and a colorful plastic paper seal of Aliyun OS LOGO pattern inside. In the top of the fuselage was inlaid with a metal material Infinik brand LOGO, LOGO surface using sawing treatment, revealing the unique cold luster of the metal itself, making it shine brightly against the background.

Infiniti i8 eight-core version of the rear interface and the quad-core version of the same interface settings are very simple, so I will not be marked in the figure, the left is the color terminal, designed for old-fashioned television; in its On the edge are 2 USB 2.0 ports and then an RJ45 network port. On the right is the HDMI HD interface, and on the far right is a power adapter interface. Infiniti's i8 quad-core does not have an independent power-on key, which automatically powers on when it is plugged in.
Due to the use of Ali Cloud OS, several cloud OS LOGO patterns appear on the body. It is due to the addition of these orange LOGO, the appearance of the machine looks more resistant to some.
Infinik i8 is covered with cooling holes at the bottom of the fuselage, and at the same time with a four-cornered anti-skid pad at the bottom to ensure a good thermal dissipation of the body, and can be well fixed on the desktop when flat.
Infiniti i8 eight nuclear version comes standard with a vertical card holder, to facilitate the erection of the box placed, it is worth mentioning that standing and dual-use is an exterior design patent of the Infineon box, in fact, few other boxes are used This design, but this design is obviously more practical and beautiful.
The design of the remote control is still based on simplicity, and compared to the previous quad-core version of the remote control, the sensitivity has a certain degree of improvement, but I personally still do not like this remote control, after all, like voice and other functions are not in the remote control It is reflected on. Users who are recommended to purchase can use the remote controller function of Ali TV Assistant to operate.
Multimedia Test: Local Video File Playback Test
Local media playback is the most basic and most needed function of a high-definition player. Its support for local media files and playback quality often reflect how high the performance of the box is. Today Xiaobian used HDMI video output, 1TBUSB3.0 mobile hard disk input, 4M wireless network connection to test the Infinik i8.
The first test video file, in the movie playback, its decoding is very important. The formats supported by Infinico i8 cover the current popular formats including AVI/DIVX, FLV/F4V, WMV/ASF, 3GP/3G2/3GPP, MP4/M4VMPEG/MPG/DAT/VOB/EVO/VOB, TS /M2TS, MKV/WEBM, MOV, etc.
H.265 is a new video coding standard that can transmit higher quality network video under limited bandwidth, and only needs the original half bandwidth to play video of the same quality. Therefore, it is of great significance for the online playing of high-definition video in the future. As the terminal of the home living room video entertainment, the box, with the richness of ultra-clear resources, naturally cannot degrade the decoding capability of the H.265 encoded video. After the author's test, the H.265 videos in the above table can all be played smoothly. The range covers MKV, FLV, MP4 and various resolution videos, fast forwarding and fast rewinding. Therefore, in the playback of video resources, the Infinik i8 is worthy of being the strongest box with eight cores and it performed quite well.

Infinik i8 as a TV box with the current top configuration, from its configuration can see its output video resolution is 1080p, for mainstream formats mp4, mkv, rmvb can smoothly play, but for HD enthusiasts favorite ts format For example, after the author's test, in addition to "Green Leaf" can play normally, "Czech Scenery" is unable to play normally, and the decoding capability for the TS format has yet to be strengthened. In the playback test of 4K resource video, the Infini i8 with eight cores completed the broadcasting mission excellently, during which there was no half-pointing, fast-forward and fast-return zero buffering. However, in the current situation where 4K resources are still not popular, it may not be able to play its true function temporarily.

Infiniti i8 also supports the playback of iso-original Blu-ray original discs. The author selected three Blu-ray original discs including “Death Squad 3†for playback testing, and can use the player built-in player to play smoothly. Without pressure, hundreds of boxes can also take on the role of Blu-ray, which is still very eye-catching.
Multimedia Testing: Local Lossless Music Testing
In general, the player can perfectly support a variety of lossless music, and decoding of mainstream music is not a problem. However, I still test it here, the Infinik i8 as a quad-core HD player, the mainstream format audio can be played smoothly. However, the interface for playing music is relatively simple and there is no bright spot.

Evaluation Summary: Infiniti i8 eight nuclear version in the appearance of the appearance of the continuation of the quad-core version, the same exquisite appearance, white and simple color for a variety of home environment, unique horizontal and vertical display modes, a small change also Embodies the designer's good intentions. In terms of performance, the eight-core CPU's powerful processing capabilities allow the Infinik i8 to perform perfectly in various video tests. The smooth playback of the Blu-ray disc is also a pleasant surprise. Of course, there are also deficiencies in the area where remote control authors no longer want to stop, hope that manufacturers in the future can optimize the remote control, after all, a physical remote control is still very important, there is a quad-core version of 16G flash memory However, the eight-core version has only 8G of flash memory, which is where the author can not understand.
