I published pictures of Amlogic S912 TV box boards just over a month ago, and it appears companies have started to take orders from resellers for Amlogic S912 TV boxes with products such Videostrong KM8 Pro, or the one I’m going to cover in this post: QINTAIX Q912.
QINTAIX Q912 specifications:

- Power consumption – 5 watts typical; less than 0.02W in standby mode (TBC)

The TV box runs Android 6.0, and by default ships with one IR remote control, one HDMI cable, a power adapter, and a quick install guide.
If you’ve checked QINTEX Tech Alibaba page linked in the introduction, you may have noticed their enclosures are very similar to EWEAT TV boxes, so it’s quite possible both companies use the same manufacturer, or one of them is the actual manufacturer for the device. I should also be getting an early S912 TV box sample from Shenzhen Shiningworth this week or next, and GeartBest is taking pre-orders for Beelink GT1 for $80.22, so that likely means Amlogic octa-core TV boxes will start shipping to end-users by late August or September.
