Most TV boxes on the market comes with DDR3 memory, but YUNDOO Y7 TV box based on Amlogic S905X processor instead comes with 2GB DDR4 memory, with the company claiming 50% higher bandwidth compared to DDR3 memory.
YUNDOO Y7 specifications:

Which applications will benefit from higher memory bandwidth? I’m not entirely sure, but I’d assume applications moving a lot of data, such as 4K video players and possibly games should benefit from faster memory.
I could not find availability nor price information for the device, but you’ll find some more details on Yundoo Y7 product page. Yundoo and Nexbox brands appear to be managed by the same company. [Update: Yundoo Y7 is up for pre-order on GeekBuying for $57.99 with 2GB+16GB, and $43.99 with 1GB+8GB. Shipping is scheduled for next week (1GB RAM) and next month (2GB RAM)]
