Single core 500MHz. So most things it will actually do faster than the dual cores. The difference isn't likely to be noticable, as usually you'll only have one task running (the GUI) that needs the CPU.

Interesting, so if you had to choose between this box and another box with the soc BRCM4380 405mhz dual-core, which one would you choose??

thanks

If Enigma2 can't take advantage of dual core configuration,with what it will help you "BRCM4380 405mhz dual-core" ?The answer it's clear to me,buy what suits your needs (display ,hdd,e-sata,sci ,plug'n'play tuners...),not for X Ghz or quad core.Cheers!

Enigma2 can (and will) use multiple cores. It's the user that usually isn't doing several things at the same time.

If you're downloading movies from the box while using it to browse youtube movies at the same time, the dual-core may shine. Things like recording and watching use so little CPU, you won't notice the difference.

I thinking about buy small box like this with pli support and I dont know what to choose:
xp1000 or xtrend 4000

What Guys do You think,which one is better?

Regards.

[Frenske]

I can't determine which box is better because I do not own a XP1000 yet.
The ET4000 works ok but the XP 1000 has, besides a cardreader also a CI slot. Could be positive for future purposes.
As I heard, the other specs are almost thesame.

But what about the processor?
Did xtrend 4000 have the same like xp1000?
Or in xtrend is dual core,couse its dmips?

Thanks for anwsering my question.

It's the same processor so the same Dmips.

It's the same processor so the same Dmips.

Thanks for answer,but did on both can be hbbtv and webrowser possible?I know its already on xtrend but did on xp 1000 will be too.thanks again.

Hello alsat1

Since PliTeam supports them both (et4000 and xp1000), If I would make this choice, I would simply go for the one which cost less.
They have almost same spec, so hbbtv and webrowser is possible on both.

But if you want your box now, just go for the et4000. Xtrend has an established reputation now.
I don't know who produce xp1000, but I don't think they have a website or a dedicated support forum yet.

Here some more detailed information:

any info about price?

[Frenske]

As I heard it should be somewhere between € 160.- to € 190.-, but don't blame me if I'm wrong.

Hi,

Just one question:

I observe that both ET4000 ans XP1000 are compatible OpenGL2 versus OpenGL 1.1 for the rest of the STB..

What is the expeted benefit from this feature?

[pieterg]

enigma2 does not make use of opengl, so it will not benefit from the new features.

Anyone tested xp1000 with dvb-c sundtek? Would be nice to see a usb dvb-c solution is working on the xp1000
