Below we use security Bunny, NenaMark2, vellamo and other software to test the hardware performance of Kaibor M1.






Ann Bunny is a software that professionally tests the ratings of mobile phones and tablet computers. It can perform UE testing (multitasking and virtual machines), overall CPU performance testing, RAM memory test testing, 2D/3D graphics performance testing, and data storage I/O. Performance testing, consumers can have a grasp of the device as a whole through security Bunny test software.





Vellamo is a benchmark application that tests the web browsing performance of devices, such as JS, HTML5 performance. The HTML5 module can be used to evaluate the performance of mobile web browsers, while the Metal module can measure the CPU subsystem performance of mobile processors. Vellamo can evaluate scroll scaling, 3D graphics, video performance, memory reads and writes, bandwidth peak performance, and more.





NenaMark2 is a hardware acceleration benchmark program for Android devices that tests the graphics capabilities of a mobile phone by presenting a real-time rendered image, including reflections, dynamic shadows, surface parameters, complex light patterns, etc., and requires Android. 0 above system and OpenGL ES.0 support.

Kaibor M1 set-top box uses Rockchip RK3128 quad-core processor, CPU frequency up to 1GHz, PC-class GPU clocked up to 700Mhz image processor, with 512M memory + 4G flash memory, the overall operation is smooth.
