what's up guys Chigz here from
Chigz tech reviews so we've seen plenty
of head-to-head videos of mobile phones
tablets game consoles etc but I've never
seen a head-to-head video of a TV box so
I decided to make one myself so in this
video we're going to see in real time
the difference between a quad-core TV
box and an octa-core TV box so in theory
the octa-core has doubled the CPU so it
should be double the speed so we know
the octa-core is going to be faster but
let's find out exactly how fast is going
to be so on my left I have the tx5 Pro
which has a quad-core s90 5x CPU with 2
gigs of ddr3 RAM and 16 gigs of internal
storage and on my right I have the B
link gt1 which has an octa-core CPU
three gigs of DDR four RAM and 32 gigs
of internal storage so we're going to be
running a series of simple tests which
include a boot up test followed by a
gaming test and then a video test by
giving the boot test first so first of
all we're going to be booting up the TX
5 pro which is the quad core TV box
you
okay so now I'm going to begin the be
link gt1 boot test
you
but these are the results for the boot
up test the tx5 pro took one minute and
six seconds and that be linked GT one
took only 20 seconds Wow that is an
incredible speed difference is that what
you guys were expecting let me know in
the comments below let's move on now to
a gaming test
so for the gaming test I'm going to be
using Lego Jurassic world and we're
going to load it up from the menus the
timer will start from then
you
ah
so now we're going to load up Lego
Jurassic world on the beam link GT 1
ah
so here are your results for the game
load test the tx5 protic 38 seconds and
the B link gt1 took 22 seconds to fully
load up the game so for the final test
we're going to find out how long it
takes to open up a video streaming app
and we're going to be testing the BBC
iPlayer
you
and now we're going to load up the BBC
iplayer for the B link GT one
you
so here are the final results for the
head-to-head and as you guys just saw
the B link gt1 boots up very quickly
games and apps both flowed much faster
but I was amazed by is the twenty second
boot up time the tx5 pro took a one
minute and six seconds and that felt
even longer because I was recording it
to show you guys now if you guys are on
a budget and you're not looking to spend
that extra money for the octa-core I
think the quad-core s90 5x is still a
very good processor you can play games
and watch 4k and HD videos without any
lag whatsoever
so don't be put off by the TX 5 Pro just
because of the speed of boot up times
and loading times because when it does
finish loading it actually does work
really well I hope you found this video
useful and it helps you decide which box
you want between the quad core and the
octa-core thank you so much for watching
and I hope you all have a brilliant day
