Dragonbox trailer6/25/2023 ![]() The main developer of Bo圆4 and Box32 emulators, ptitSeb, got hold of an early sample, installed Ubuntu 20.04.3 on the computer, runs some WelGL demos, as well as Bo圆4 emulator running Factorio. Most of the slides are in Chinese, but I also understand the Phytium D2000 octa-core processor is pin-to-pin compatible with Phytim FT2000/4 quad-core Arm SoC, so existing designs for the older chip should be easily upgradeable.īack to the “mini PC” that’s not exactly that mini, especially when compared to Raspberry Pi 4 and ODROID-N2 boards, but it’s not surprising considering they had to have a case that can take a graphics card. HKEPC has more details about the SoC itself with the octa-core processor equipped with 34-lanes for PCIe 3.0 interfaces (2x PCIe x16, 1x PCIe x1), and dual Gigabit Ethernet making it suitable for desktop computers, notebooks, industrial computers, and network security equipment like firewalls. USB – 5x USB-A 2.0 ports, 1x USB-A 3.0 port. ![]() Networking – Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 port.Storage – 512GB NVMe SSD inserted into to M.2 slot.GPU – AMD Radeon RX 550 MXM 3.0a graphics card with 2GB VRAM.SoC – Phytium D2000 ARMv8 octa-core custom Armv8 ( FTC663) desktop processor 2.3 – 2.6 GHz with 8 MB L2 Cache (2MB per dual-core clusters) and 4 MB 元 Cache 14nm process 25W TDP 1144-pin FCBGA package (35×35 mm).If the Dragonbox name sounds familiar, it’s because that’s the community that developed the Pyra handheld Linux game console/PC, except now they are offering a mini PC based on Phytium D2000 processor based on the same FTC663 Armv8 cores as found in the earlier Phytium FT2000/4 processor, with both Pythium SoC specifically designed for desktop PCs, contrary to most other Arm SoCs on the market. According to a recent call for resellers, the company has 250,000 customers in all 50 states.Ĭhristoforo was formerly president of Ocean Distribution, where he became notorious online for a hostile customer service exchange, in which he advised a customer to “put on your big boy hat and wait it out like everyone else.Dragonbox is now taking pre-orders for a “Phytium D2000 ARMv8 Mini PC” with an octa-core 64-bit Arm processor, 16GB RAM, a 512GB NVMe, and an AMD Radeon RX550 GPU that makes it powerful enough to play older PC gaming like Crysis through Bo圆4 x86_64 emulator, the 64-bit version of Box86 x86 emulator compatible with Raspberry Pi and other 32-bit Arm platforms. ![]() The Dragon Box device lists for $350 on the company’s website. “We can’t be held liable for the movies and TV channels online that people are watching, because all the software is doing is accessing content that is readily available online.” “It is legal to stream content on the internet,” he writes, in all caps. On his LinkedIn page, Christoforo advertises the Dragon Box device “opens up a whole new world of possibilities, where free movies and TV channels online are endless.”Ĭhristoforo goes on to state that the device is legal. TickBox recently removed marketing language that seemed to promise viewers could use the device to watch subscription channels for free.ĭragon Box CEO Paul Christoforo is named as a defendant in the suit. TickBox, which is based in Georgia, has argued that it merely offers a hardware device, akin to a laptop or a tablet, and is not responsible for any copyright infringement that may occur on that device. “Defendants promise their customers reliable and convenient access to all the content they can stream and customers purchase Dragon Box devices based on Defendants’ apparent success in delivering infringing content to their customers.” “The commercial value of Defendants’ Dragon Box business depends on high-volume use of unauthorized content through the Dragon Box devices,” the suit alleges. Dragon Box, which is based in Carlsbad, Calif., did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
