And now it gets even better, because CHUWI announced, that LarkBox will upgrade the N4100 processor to the new J4115 processor. The processor upgrade potential will without a question to lead to better performance experience and increased efficiency. For the same money, so perfect. LarkBox will go live on Indiegogo at 7:00 am on June 23 (PST) for $169 and you can already sign up to get more discounts.
Processor upgrade to maximize performance
The upgraded J4115 model is a new processor from Intel J400 series and is mainly used in military-grade products. It has better stability and is suitable for long-term continuous use. According to the disclosed parameters, J4115 core frequency can reach 2.5GHz, while TDP also rises from 6W (N4100) to 10W. The slight improvement of TDP will bring a better performance of core frequency.
Compared with the traditional mini PC using passive heat dissipation, LarkBox uses an excellent active heat dissipation system of all-copper heat dissipation board and silent fan, which is a good choice in temperature control. Excellent heat dissipation gives the processor more persistent and stable performance for more scenes.
Regarding the specific performance of this J4115 processor, the following running points have been released so far.
Gizchina News of the week
