Inside the small enclosure hides an Amlogic AML8726-M3 processor operating at 1.5 GHz. The chip is based on an ARM Cortex-A9 design and should provide better performance than the older MK802.

Does your processor support PAE kernel – run command in terminal

 

grep -i pae /proc/cpuinfo

 

if you do have pae support, “pae” it will be highlighted!!!

if you do not have a pae kernel, you will not get a response in the terminal (because, in the command you are grep’ing for a response from pae)

 

Thank you
