i don,t know if someone have try to use the retroarch like nintendo 64 or anything else but it<s slow. my odroid xu4 is faster to run game on udoo i<m using windows 10 on my emmc because udoo is out of stock for the ssd even i think my udoo is not a 2.56ghz it<s like 1.6 ghz thank you
The Ultra runs with a 1.1 base frequency. See thread https://www.udoo.org/forum/threads/disappointed-with-unexpectedly-low-clock-speed.7324/
If you look at the win 10 resource manager, what seems to be the bottleneck? CPU? Disk? GPU ( can this be measured?)?
Correct, the information I used earlier seems to be from an older N3710 model. Intel says Processor Base Frequency 1.60 GHz Burst Frequency 2.56 GHz
The 2.56ghz is the burst speed. The CPU decides when to speed up and only when needed and only for short periods of time. The base clock of the ultra is 1.6ghz.
We have had this discussion about frequencies before. Let's focus on why an application like retroarch is not running as expected. The Udoo X86 in every mode (normal, high, boost) should be faster than an odroid. That's why I asked about the resources that are in use when running the application. What is the bottleneck? Or is the compilation of these programs on Windows not optimized for these Udoo X86 CPU/GPU? The Udoo's as a PC are relatively slow....
Oops I should investigate better. An odroid xu4 is even faster than a Udoo X86 Ultra (when looked at CPU only) http://www.mikronauts.com/hardkernel/hardkernel-odroid-xu4-review/9/
I would allocate memory to the video card. There is minimal memory allocated to the video card by default, and games were choppy as heck for me. After I allocated additional memory, things got better.
Let me know if there is a difference, I asked about it earlier in https://www.udoo.org/forum/threads/tuning-graphics-performance-in-bios.7125/#post-27231.
Here someone has good experiences in tuning bios and display driver settings (win 10): https://www.udoo.org/forum/threads/everythings-installed.6849/
Everything is fine now that I’m using launchbox without retroarch, Windows 10, now it is the perfect portable computer for anything I love it. Udoo bolt v8 is coming mmm I thinking of it with a nvidia 2080gtx Still enjoy my udoo x86 ultra even I have to change the all thing one time because of we don’t why by udoo itself so they change it Thanks udoo
