Recently the upcoming CHUWI 4K mini PC LarkBox has aroused quite a lot of attention. 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.
- CPU-Z：Single Thread：191.9；Multi Thread：761.8
- GeekBench 4：Single Core：1825；Multi Core：5614
- Cinebench R15：CPU：261cb；OpenGL：13.77fps
From the running score results, J4115 shows a slight improvement in performance compared to the N4100 version. So you expect more efficienty for you daily office and home usage from it.
Super small size, easy to use and carry
With the size of 61*61*43, the whole mini PC can fit in just the palm of your hand. It supports 4K video output and it It also supports easy VESA mounting directly on the monitor. LarkBox is suitable for use as an all-in-one office machine, a projection host in a conference room, a 4K TV box in a living room or just a normal super efficient home PC.
The free upgrade is just a very welcome step from CHUWI and according to their word, the cooling and temperature control of LarkBox is now even better. So not just the performance. Such tiny mini PC model can offer a pretty solid punch, especially considering just the $169 pricing. Check it out on Indiegogo and eventually sign up for some extra discounts.
CHUWI can do better, if upgrading then use something that makes an impact on performance +30% like Pentium J5040.
