VIM1S
When designing the VIM1S, it was our intention to stay as close as possible to the original cost and power consumption of the VIM1. Our engineers thus felt that the Amlogic S905Y4 SoC would be a good replacement for the original S905X. In our performance tests, the S905Y4 provided a moderate 15 to 20% performance boost.
Standard Pricing
Retail Price: $64.9
