is this meaning no CE on S928X anymore?
No and please be patient. Thereâs a reason why things take time.

That response just means that things need to go âthe officialâ way if Iâm not mistaken. And thatâs not bad, it ensures that there will be no legal issues or something like that later on.
Worth a shot, thank you for checking

Keep in mind that the AM6B+ and similar devices eventually got the 64-bit armv8a support without needing a separate armv7 32-bit build because someone stumbled upon a dovi.ko module from an entirely different model that just so happened to work with the S922X-J SoCs.
So just because Amlogic isnât willing to distribute the file to individuals doesnât necessarily mean all that much.
This question about dovi is more on ugoos, becasuse they know pair of android and ce in case of dualboot in their firmware of device.

The s928x has a 20-25% increase in single core performance, but the s922x has a 10-15% better multi-core performance.
(Amlogic S922X vs Amlogic S928X)
AndroidTVPC also posted benchmarks recently
Itâs not about Antutu score differences and benchmarks that in day to day use are meaningless and canât even be noticed. Much more important is the AV1 and VS12 engine support that make it a future proof device.
Whatâs the improvement in the VS12 over VS10 engine? Does the s905x4 use DoVi VS12? I know the A311D2 does.

120hz Dolby Vision for one thing
Any content at that?
No obviously not i just use it because the UI is twice as snappy and crisp
Is VS short for Visual Studio? Where does one generally see that (VS10/12) information in Kodi?
Yeah I donât know, thereâs little information about the specifics of VS10/VS12. Some devices label their dovi.ko with a vs10 and vs12 prefix, thatâs how I know the s922x uses VS10 and the A311D2 used VS12.
When Dolby Vision always on is enabled in Android itâs using VS10/VS12 to do that SDR->DoVi conversion. Iâve never seen anyone do a comparison between the two to know whatâs been added.

No, itâs the chroma upscaling engine built into the dolby vision module. SDR or HDR â DV output. VS10 can be enabled on S922XJ with a custom CE build.
More info here:
On VS10, the SDR â DV conversion is average, but HDR â DV is quite good and approximates native DV well from testing. The updated VS12 chroma engine is on S928X family devices so eager to compare and see the improvements.
Which device with this chip does support DV?
Is it safe to assume that if CE comes to a device with S928XJ, it will work in all devices that have the same SOC? I ask because, unlike with the old S922XJ, there are several brands, with very different prices, selling devices with the S928XJ. Additionally, would CE be able to take advantage of the 8GB Ram of these devices or is it limited to 4GB?
There are S922-J SoCâs that have locked bootloaders that canât run CE so it is pretty safe to say you canât assume anything.
Which box with a S922XJ doesnât run CE? Brand? Model?
