Minix may have just unveiled its first TV box with an Intel processor, but the company isn’t done with ARM-based processors.
 
The new Minix Neo X6 runs Google Android 4.4 KitKat and comes with the XBMC media center app pre-loaded, and it’s powered by an Amlogic S805 quad-core processor.
 
The Neo X6 should be available later this month for about $120.

Amlogic’s S805 chip is a low-power ARM Cortex-A5 processor with ARM Mali-450 graphics. While it’s not the speediest processor around, it should be able to handle 1080p HD video playback and supports hardware-accelerated H.264 and H.265 decoding and H.264 encoding.
 
Other features of the box include 1GB of RAM, 8GB of eMMC storage, a microSD card slot, HDMI output, 802.11n WiFi, Bluetooth 4.0, and 10/100 Ethernet. It has 2 USB 2.0 ports, a micro USB OTG port, and an IR sensor for a remote control.

This looks like a good TV box for watching Netflix, YouTube, and also playing Android games like Gangster Vegas 4, Modern Combat, and emulated nes, snes, N64, PS1-PS2 emulated games with a game emulator games, and a wireless controller.
 
I bet it can be used as a router device by installing a router app for it from the Google Play store because it also has a wired networking jack along with a wifi antenna.

Maybe in the future many router devices would be like this box where you can also access it by plugging in a monitor, and hooking up a USB keyboard and mouse instead of needing to use a desktop, laptop, smartphone or tablet to login to the router to change the settings on the router.
